There’s a thread about a major Chinese Oil & Gas guy, living in Canada, on the passenger manifest. If I’m China, and I need Freescale’s avionics diagrams, I take the plane somewhere I can confiscate the avionics data.
This is also true of Iran.
This is also true of Somalia, paid Pirate state.
Possibly why no Statesmen of any nation are addressing this. No reason to go to war over a simple Boeing designs theft, via Freescale.
Way too much overkill and attention in stealing an entire plane and not giving the whole world closure. The payoff doesn't match the method.
Industrial espionage, blackmail and political payoffs are much more efficient and already embedded in the infrastructure.
Wow. I guess that we will know soon. Hopefully it ends well.
