Notice that the Special Condition published in the 13 April 2007 Federal
Register *(and later on 2 Jan 2008) adds the following requirement
for the 787 Type Certificate:

"The design shall prevent all inadvertent or malicious changes
to, and all adverse impacts upon, all systems, networks, hardware,
software, and data in the Aircraft Control Domain and in the Airline
Information Domain from all points within the Passenger Information
and Entertainment Domain."

If complied with, why complain?

If they can safely accomplish this, that's great. I hope they do.
But just because the FAA writes a regulation saying it should be
foolproof, that doesn't mean it will be.
