The End of In-flight Wi-Fi?

What does in flight wifi have to do with that incident? They want to get rid of something because it's a possible risk?
 
Because there were cell phones attached to bombs. The theory is that the Wifi could be used to contact a cell phone and make it go boom. In a related story, Printer Cartridges are no longer approved for carry-on air travel.

Pretty much. As the article says, please don't let the TSA know about altimeters or timers, because next we'll be flying without either of those, as they could be used to detonate a bomb.....unfortunately, more people will be killed due to planes crashing because they have no altimeter than because of altimeter-related bombs....

We lost it a long time ago. This is just another example of trying to prevent something that already happened.

I'm seriously waiting for the day that carry on's are banned and people are made to only wear flip flops, and underwear.

Nope, flip flops ONLY. Someone tried to blow up a plane with his tighty whiteys...no more underwear!! :sarcasm:
 
The TSA has now banned anything but the human body for travel. Flights will occur by sex from this point forward to prevent body fluid transfer.
 
This is great news. I hate wireless networking. I don't care about terrorists or freedom. Just wifi. :P

So ridiculous.

Yes, what a ridiculous technology. Who could possibly want to be able to network an entire office or home with one box instead of running miles of cable through the ceiling and walls.
 
We should probably faraday cage the whole airplane so cell phones can't be used for bombs to... and radios can't be used for navigation of communication.

I honestly expect the TSA to recommended something like that.
 
I am growing really tired of humoring Washington's decision to take airport checkpoint security workers, change the color of their uniforms and give them the power to be limitless(ly) nosy, basically following people everywhere. There needs to be another check to balance everything out.

You think you don't like that fat, greasy, smelly person sitting beside you in coach now.... I believe I would rather drive that take the risk of sitting beside their naked body.
