In-flight WiFi = major security risk?
![]() Of course modern terrorists are either afraid of crypto or simply don't know how to secure their Internet connections. |

I was lookingt forward to WiFi on my travels and I hope this theory does not put a stop to it. Just awaiting British Airways to pick up on it.

I don't think the US government would want to stop in-flight WiFi, simply because it would hurt Boeing (who put a lot of money into its Connexion program) and Boeing is one of the government's darlings.
But what could happen is that feds will log all traffic connections. Not that this seems very useful to me, since, as I mentioned with some sarcasm, it wouldn't stop people from using secure Internet connections (e.g. through a SSH2 tunnel) which seem very unlikely to be sniffed. |
