SQL Injection Attack on Airport Security - Schneier on Security
www.schneier.com

Anyone with basic knowledge of SQL injection could login to this site and add anyone they wanted to KCM and CASS, allowing themselves to both skip security screening and then access the cockpits of commercial airliners.

    No for-profit will bother with security unless forced to, as it’s seen as an expense and shareholders don’t like that.

    Edit: also:

    We had difficulty identifying the right disclosure contact for this issue. We did not want to contact FlyCASS first as it appeared to be operated only by one person and we did not want to alarm them.

    Emphasis mine.
