Don't like to fly anyway but this news makes me want to avoid it entirely for a half-year at least.

FAA: 2 million lines of code process new air traffic system
The Federal Aviation Administration this week said it had completed the momentous replacement of 40-year old main computer systems that control air traffic in the US.
Known as En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM), the system is expected to increase air traffic flow, improve automated navigation and strengthen aircraft conflict detection services, with the end result being increased safety and less flight congestion.
Of course, nothing can go wrong go wrong go wrong. Two million lines of code is large but not unmanageable - Windows 7 clocks in at 40 million. The Linux 2.0 kernal at 3 mLOC
Cue the Russian and Chinese hackers in 3... 2... 1...
