ALIS crew of course will use their iPhones as a "secure" device, to interact with the main system?

The Emiratis were already caught doing this on iPhones and they bought their "app" from Israel; I wonder where the stuff that Google just found (and Apple presumably fixed within 6 days) came from? A new form of tech race (and the targets select themselves by all using iPhones).

We live in a time when nothing is really secure if the internet is involved. Most phones and computers report back what you are doing in order to improve your browsing experience. Tracking cookies, and malware are other problems. I saw a USB device advertised that would back up all the files on a computer in seconds.

(The Royal Family Channel) 3 February 2020
The Queen has toured a training facility for the UK's F-35B Lightning stealth fighter jets at RAF Marham in Norfolk.

It was her first official public engagement of 2020, visiting the base in her role as its Honorary Air Commodore. The 93-year-old monarch wore a peach outfit by Angela Kelly with a matching hat and a diamond bow brooch.

Her Majesty, inside her Bentley, also got a close-up display of F-35B ZM149 performing a vertical landing on one of Marham's landing spots. Mercifully, Prince Philip was not driving. Or piloting. :mrgreen:

Interesting to note that the US Marines appear to have used conventional landings, while the RN and RAF seem to predominantly use Rolling Vertical Landings. Another clue that SRVL will be the preferred method aboard the QE's?
