    United Airlines has to postpone/cancel about 3,500 flights today due to a computer issue. One wonders if they were hacked? This is the second failure of systems for United over about a month or so.

    An enemy nation trying its hacking technology on one company -- perhaps with a view to grounding all major airlines. Countries like the US have a lot of enemies.

    All the airline would say was that it experienced a "network connectivity issue". The grounding events took place after United offered 1,000,000 frequent flyer to anybody who could hack their system. Call it a death wish to putting ideas into peoples' minds.
