This isn't a publicly accessible system like a webserver. This is an entertainment device on a plane.

It's not your intuition about the IFE hardware that's problematic; it's your intuition about the "publicly accessible system like a webserver".

I meant from a legal standpoint. Accessing an IFE from a personal device you take on an airplane will be viewed differently in court than running nmap on your laptop against a webserver hosted on AWS.
