Re: The real crime here

Don't really understand the downvotes here, unless it's Link Din folk having thin skins, here's why:

What's the worst thing that this security fail can allow to happen? That at some point, some bugger will knacker the IFE and stop folk from quietly watching a film.

So rather than doing something actually worthwhile, this bollix knackers the IFE.

Legitimate security work ASKS before doing ANYTHING with a reasonable chance of causing any sort of problem, and also sensibly restricts itself to things that there's a reasonable chance of them getting fixed.

FAIL.
