So is this just a thing for your company....or something you guys are designing for airline use?

I hear they will be going in ALL commercial jets within the next couple of years. Not only cockpit but also cabin cams as well. I have already seen them on a 777. Supposedly, I will even be able to look at streaming video on my PDA while in flight eventually.

We just design the system that allows transmission of in-flight data to the ground and back. What installers do with it is up to them. We've done a few demos where we send live video from the cabin and cockpit to the ground to show what it can do; several potential customers asked if we could do that for them.

That really concerns me. If they install those in the cockpit, and have them transmitting real time video...it can be hacked. That could potentially allow people to find the weaknesses that might allow them to enter the cockpit. Bad shit, man...bad shit..

Even scarier would be a hacker who hacked into the video feed and simulated a highjacking, demanding millions of dollars, the CEO's first-born male child, etc.
