Let's review.

What's the amount now ? About $80 billion to the Ukraine while American travelers are unsafe in the air. What happened to the Infrastructure bill or "Build Back Better" trillions - all spent on green stuff and pork ? We all know the answer.

I would bet that this was a hack and the FAA don't want that to be known.

One of the first things they said was this was not terrorism. That knowing the idiots that run this country tells me it was some sort of internet attack. Possibly a test for a future nastier action!

We also can be assured that this was absolutely NOT caused by the covid injections. There are few certainties in life, but these are two....not hacker/terror related, and not vaxx related.

You do understand that computer systems are run by "IT Departments" full of "Professionals" who can't keep their hands off what runs fine already as they upgrade and ruin things on a daily baisis, right? This is 100% an internal issue, so OF COURSE they've spent the last two hours with two or three guys fixing it, and hundreds if not thousands of the rest of the staff leaking messages that it might be a CYBER ATTACK PROBABLY CHINA!!!!!

In other words, IT non-engineers screwed up again.

Highly unlikely, IT professionals wouldn’t risk their careers “tinkering” with the systems they service. Any IT organization worth its salt has layers of security and developmental control to prevent people from playing Lone Ranger.

In an ideal world, you are correct. In the real world, that's not always the case.

And I'm guessing the issue wasn't due to someone 'tinkering' with the systems. It was probably simply due to an update that had a typo or was pushed out before other required updates or some other simple mistake.

If that kind of amateurish development and testing control exists at the FAA this country is even more ****ed up than I imagined.

Worker could have stroked out from the vaccine and landed on the keyboard. Too early to rule out, IMHO.
