Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner passenger jet may have a serious
security vulnerability in its onboard computer networks that could
allow passengers to access the plane's control systems, according
to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.


Larry, I don't see a conflict there between the FAA and Boeing.


If the FAA is pointing out a potential vulnerability in Boeing's
design, what would you call it?


Where is the FAA pointing out a potential vulnerability?

The special condition is intended to address an area where
the FAA certification requirements don't quite cover.
