This is not exactly hard to prove one way or another.
Have the media present and have Boeing and Airbus make a plane available and let him do his thing (while it is on the ground and empty).
FBI of course has to agree to give him immunity.
All parties should have nothing to fear if they are truly interested in protecting the public.
- sokoloff 11y agoThe IFE system has ties to the weight on wheels sensors at a minimum, meaning a ground test isn't a faithful reproduction of an air test. (That's how the IFE shuts down at touchdown, and I suspect it's how they know to push you their takeoff ads.)

- sokoloff 11y agoDelta's system plays the Delta ad while the aircraft is still over the runway on takeoff and the entertainment shuts off in the first few seconds of rollout, as I recall. I'd be surprised if there's a flight attendant whose duty it is to hit a button at a critical time in flight to make that happen.
