Hackers Take Over PA Systems in Multiple Airports, Scare Heck Out of Travelers With Pro-Hamas Messages – RedState

Air travel has, in recent years, already gotten far less pleasant than it used to be just a decade or two ago: you’ve got the hassle of TSA lines, tiny seats (unless you want to pay for one of the endless upgrades offered), airport food that costs more than a car payment, and other inconveniences. Still, we do it because it’s the fastest way to travel and we want to see our families and/or go on vacation.





But imagine if you were strolling about the concourse and suddenly you heard pro-Hamas messages being blasted over the PA system? That’s exactly what happened to passengers at multiple airports on Tuesday as miscreants somehow hacked into the systems.

You’re just angling for a rare spot at the crowded bar, and suddenly you hear “Free Palestine!” It would certainly be disconcerting, and possibly even quite scary, because you wouldn’t know what, if anything, is coming next:

At least four airports in the U.S. and Canada were targeted:

Passengers at airports in Pennsylvania and British Columbia were stunned Tuesday when loudspeakers suddenly blasted pro-Hamas messages and slurs against President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Videos posted by travelers showed the unauthorized recordings echoing through terminals at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania and Kelowna International Airport in Canada.

Screens at Kelowna also flashed messages praising Hamas and urging “Free Palestine,” according to officials and witnesses.





This social media poster blames Canadian airport security services for the hack, but as noted, it happened in Pennsylvania’s Harrisburg International Airport, too. I would also posit that the pro-Hamas creeps didn’t go through security; they probably achieved their twisted plan from a remote location.

Still, not what you want to see when you’re rushing to your gate:

Now It’s the ‘Airport Resistance’: Multiple Facilities Refuse to Air Kristi Noem’s Schumer Shutdown Video


One plane was searched at the Harrisburg airport, and multiple flights were delayed at several of the locations involved, but there were no significant safety issues. However, it’s certainly concerning that hackers were apparently able to break into airport networks – what else are they capable of worming their way into with their skills?





The cybersecurity breaches highlight growing vulnerabilities in airport networks that have become increasingly reliant on cloud-based audio and display systems.

In June, a criminal group penetrated the computer networks of several airlines in the US and Canada, according to the FBI.

A month later, a software outage caused chaos at major European hubs when hackers knocked out check-in systems used by dozens of carriers.

I almost don’t want to know more, actually. If you think too much about all that could go wrong while you’re 30,000 feet in the air, you’re likely to become a quivering mess. Best to grab a beverage, open a good book, watch a free movie, or have a nice nap and then thank the heavens when you’re back on terra firma.


Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
