Air Force One Security Allegedly Compromised
The most secure aircraft in the world may be Air Force One. That is the call sign of the aircraft that transports the President of the United States. Security is paramount. Nevertheless, it seems that this security has been compromised:
“State Department investigators found that a subsidiary of a major defense contractor provided portions of the computer source code of Air Force One to a company in Russia in 1998, according to a little-noticed consent agreement reached earlier this month.”

It may be noted that this is a story that reaches the news services in April 2008. The alleged security breach occured in 1998. Perhaps the approach is ‘better late than never’…
