Ladies and Gentlemen...

I'm a nervous person anyway. When flying I'm scared of the plane crashing, midair collisions, or spontaneous combustion. But here's the kicker...

Remind me never to fly a 787. You can hack a jet. A jet!!! This is a giant thing we're afraid of hitting building or the ground, and they make it hackable. Whose idea was this?! Tying the in-flight internet access, which I'm not sure is necessary anyway, into navigation, control, and communications? So someone with some good skills and a laptop can take control of the plane? Good God, was there security planned by an idiot? Here's a hint, if you're going to give passengers internet access, use two completely separate systems, even if it costs more. It's worth it to land.
