Chris Roberts, boss of cybersecurity firm One World Labs, appears to have shot himself in the foot after tweeting that he thought he could hack into a plane's systems and deploy the oxygen masks. He planned to fly from Colorado to San Francisco to speak at a major security conference Saturday, but United Airlines refused to let him board the flight.
Last week, the FBI removed Roberts from another United flight, took away his laptop and questioned him for four hours. United says it is confident its systems can't be hacked in the way Roberts describes, they've just banned him because he made comments about tampering with aircraft equipment.
Roberts' attorney says he's working to get his client's laptop returned.

Here's Roberts company but he hasn't linked his twitter on it, strangely.

ETA: Here is his twitter. Can't see the tweets but they're a bit too tedious for me to read them all.
