Ground Ball Under Buckner!!

All speculation at the moment, naturally. But it seems that FAA depends on Gummint Contractors for its compute. Here are the main ones (via Google Gemini):

- Lockheed Martin: Developed and upgraded key computer systems like ERAM (En Route Automation Modernization) at air traffic control centers.
- Leidos, Raytheon/RTX, and SAIC: Act as major systems integrators for airport modernization, mission systems, and IT transformation.
- Verizon: Designs and operates telecommunications and network infrastructure for the National Airspace System

So, what's the bet that one of them got hacked? My bet is Verizon. Time will tell. A MSCommie reporter in Jacksonville airport was told be a deplaned passenger that the pilot told them do deplane as it would be 7 hours before they could fly. Up to that, the reporting was in the half-to-hour range. Time will tell.

Ain't capitalism great? I suppose that Ayatollah 17% Don^© will pile on and complain that the same hackers that grounded the planes were the ones who rigged that Blue Tsunami. Of course he will.
