      Why would anyone connect the entertainment systems to the flight controls? Bad design, I'd say.

        He "wiggled and squeezed" the box under the seat??? From the IFE he was able to hack into the main computer system? I suppose it's possible. Marc

                Well at least he's a 'mental case' with a big mouth. Imagine if he did not have a big mouth, that could be much more of a concern.

                  Exactly what I was thinking! Perhaps someone accidentally connected the red wire to the blue wire? ;p

                    I'm a mental case. This fellow is a fool. For which there is no known treatment.

                      Boeing issued a statement saying they do isolate the systems. "[Boeing said] IFE systems on commercial airplanes are isolated from flight and navigation systems. "While these systems receive position data and have communication links, the design isolates them from the other systems on airplanes performing critical and essential functions," Boeing said in a statement provided by spokesman Doug Adler." http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/05/17/hacker-sideways-chris-roberts-fbi-united/27492409/

                        That's a variation on the hacks at Target and other places that used the same network for the cash registers and HVAC equipment. They hacked into the HVAC company which had low (to no) security and rode it into access to the cash registers/credit card scanners. Being cheap to a fault.
