If you fly Boeing, you fly Al Quaeda

The Bangalore police have sought the expertise of the Resource Centre for Cyber Forensics at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Also known as Trivandrum, this is the "City of Lord Anantha", well known for its Vishnu temple.

C-DAC are understood to have carried out the very difficult task of deciphering some or all of the contents of the high-capacity hard disk seized from the home of Kafeel Ahmed and his brother Sabeel Ahmed . The two have been detained by the U.K. police in connection with last week’s Glasgow terror attack. Ahmed was allegedly the driver of the jeep that drove into the airport.

It is understood that Ahmed, who had worked as an aeronautical engineer, had been working on software for Boeing and for the Pratt and Whtiney engine company. Apparently these companies do not return calls from the Press about the matter !

IMO: Rather amusingly, now we can say: "If you fly Boeing, you fly Al Quaeda". Knowing the very lax security at US airports before the Twin Towers bombing, I do not doubt that at least one very serious 787 crash will be needed for the message, let alone its implications, to sink in. Anyway, it certainly shows what el cheapo progammers US firms hire. I suppose they were better than any in the once great USA.
