Whether or not the allegations are true (as most people are questioning here), this article is really poorly researched. There's no indication that any attempt was made to get Roberts' side of the story or to check with any other security researcher about the plausibility of the accusations. Several people have suggested that Roberts' goal is to raise awareness about airplane safety, so perhaps he actually wanted the article published like this even if inaccurate, though it still reflects poorly on the author.
