### Debunking the Airplane Entertainment System Hack

- **Episode:** [723: Axe Man](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/723-axe-man.md)
- **Published:** 2015-05-25
- **Time:** 1:12:38–1:15:54

An expert producer with experience in cockpit display systems calls "bullshit" on claims by security researcher Chris Roberts that he hacked a plane's flight controls via the in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. The technical explanation clarifies that the IFE and the safety-critical ARINC-429 bus are physically separate systems. The FAA's strict safety standards (DO-178B/C) prevent non-critical systems from interfacing with flight management, making Roberts' claims highly dubious.

### Chris Roberts FBI Search Warrant and In-Flight Hacking Claims

- **Episode:** [722: Moral Debt](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/722-moral-debt.md)
- **Published:** 2015-05-17
- **Time:** 4:04–13:17
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/722-moral-debt/chapter/chris-roberts-fbi-search-warrant-and-in-flight-hacking-claims.md

The FBI issued a search warrant for security specialist Chris Roberts following claims that he tampered with airplane thrust management systems via the in-flight entertainment (IFE) port. Technical skepticism is raised regarding the "climb command" mentioned in the warrant, as experts argue that a passenger seat connection cannot realistically control engine thrust or cause lateral movement. The validity of the FBI's technical understanding of Boeing 737 systems is questioned.

### Airline Policy Restrictions, United and Delta Security Measures

- **Published:** 2009-12-27

United Airlines and Delta Air Lines implemented immediate restrictive policies in response to the Detroit bombing attempt. United disabled in-flight entertainment systems to hide flight path maps, while Delta prohibited the use of blankets and laptops on certain routes. These measures are criticized as being overly burdensome to passengers without addressing core security flaws.
