re: Official Thread: Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

Based on what I know from talking with an off duty Southwest Filight attendant on a flight once: Their biggest concern was customer wifi.

She actually helped stop a potential terrorist attack on Southwest Airlines (flight to Seattle) according to her story. After they arrested the foreign national, she never heard another peep - but the threat was related to Wifi.

Couple that with BOENING's wifi security warning issued in November of 2013

---

(U.S. Office of the Federal Register, November 2013) -- These special conditions are issued for the Boeing Model 777-200, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. These airplanes, as modified by the Boeing Company, will have novel or unusual design features associated with the architecture and connectivity of the passenger service computer network systems to the airplane critical systems and data networks. This onboard network system will be composed of a network file server, a network extension device, and additional interfaces configured by customer option. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

And you get a possible scenario that the plane's computers and electronics were hijacked in flight. That would explain a few of the missing details on why there was no transmissions and certain phones of passengers on the plane are still active.
