713: New Mediocre

GAO Aviation Report, Cybersecurity Myths, Media Sensationalism

Adam Curry deconstructs a sensationalized CNN report regarding a GAO document on aviation cybersecurity. He clarifies that while the report mentions "Internet Protocol" (IP) for the FAA's NextGen system, it does not mean airplanes are directly connected to the public internet for flight controls. He criticizes correspondent Renee Marsh for suggesting that a passenger with a laptop and a USB plug could crash a plane, calling the coverage "propaganda."
