#1 This is insane.

Though so is allowing me on board an aircraft with a lighter so long as I carry it in a small plastic bag.

#2 The computer network in the Dreamliner's passenger compartment, designed to give passengers in-flight internet access, is connected to the plane's control, navigation and communication systems, an FAA report reveals.

This is the most incredibly stupid thing I've ever heard.

Boeing says it has taken more than 800 advance orders for the new plane, which is due to enter service in November 2008. But the FAA is requiring Boeing to demonstrate that it has addressed the computer-network issue before the planes begin service.

I would think so!
