People back in the day...

People back then did have brains you know, they were no dumber or intelligent than we are nowadays, we just know a little more, perhaps the had lots of knowledge that has been lost over the years that we only caught up with again in the past few hundred years. Lots of mysteries out there that are probably easily explained if we had the knowledge they had back then. Theres a map that I seem to recall that defies explanation now uhm Piri Reis or something and they must have had some pretty detailed knowledge in order to create a map so accurate under the circumstances in which they would have collected the data for the map.

Insulin pump attack prompts call for federal probe

WTF?

Another bit of edumacation needed...

""there has never been a single reported incident "

Nobody has reported being killed by this?

And exactly how would they know that it had happened? A diabetic feels ill, or their sugar levels vary unexpectedly, or they drop dead - does anyone check their insulin pump? And would there be any evidence left behind, especially if the attacker set it back to normal levels again later?"

The pumps keep account of bolus injections that are extra to the basal ones...

Yes you have to check your pump, otherwise how would you change the insulin and cannula every three days? (If you didnt it would run out and youd be in serious trouble)

Yes there would be evidence left behind the insulin takes at least an hour on the quickest types to dissipate and also blood levels would differ to normal, and I would hazard a guess at there being ways of finding out what blood sugar levels where from HBA1C tests.

Was there any mention anywhere of the fact that at least...

for the insulin pump i have that any wireless device needs to be associated with the insulin pump before it can be used otherwise it wont work? so if there is an issue it must be on one of the older models that they dont sell anymore because im pretty sure the association of devices is standard in the newer models.

WTF?

Someone needs edumacating...

"Driver with an insulin pump, vehicle, 70 mph. Pump blasts a lethal dose into the blood flow.

Nuff said."

Obviously someone who doesnt know much about diabetes or insulin pumps but... the effects of insulin being pumped into the body are not instantaneous, at least not in the case of available insulin thats on the market, they take a while to do anything and generally you do feel the effects coming on. It would be more dangerous for someone say in charge of a plane...
