Makes you wonder why there were no plane hijacks since 9/11. TSA does not seem a credible prevention mechanism given how easy it is to go around it.

Because you can't get near the pilots anymore, and because everybody assumes a hijack is suicidal and reacts accordingly.
Maybe a SQL injection gets you onto the plane, but crashing that plane gets your country destroyed and the neighboring ones bombed for good measure.

What the US lacks in cybersec, it tends to make up for with IRL pew pews...
