Sick, so now I get to worry about the fucking emergency exits being ripped off the plane I'm flying on because the network connected torque wrench was hacked and displayed the proper torque setting while under torquing the bolts.

Can we not connect every fucking thing to the Internet?

I'd be more worried about overtorque than under.
