I believe a commenter on Tom Ashbrook’s On Point radio show (it’s the bomb, dontcha know) noted that some governments aren’t being exactly open about what information they may or may not have because of the need to keep their security systems secret. So fuck them and the horse they rode in on, mmkay?
As for the remote hijack–yikes. I would think Boeing systems are hardened enough to withstand such a thing, but what the hell do I know? I was a little surprised that Boeing hasn’t taken more of a hit on this given the age of the aircraft–it’s a 777, which in airplane terms is brand spakin new.
