Is the AP having a slow news day? Is it possible that Kevin Mitnick is actually human and not a mythical hacking robot? WOW!! - What a insightful news article.

Kevin Mitnik is mythical, didn't you hear. He can bring down the US Government and start a nuclear Holocaust by whistling into a phone.

I think he's probably aware of the possible consequences of hacking a plane while it's in the air ;)
