FlightAware is an entirely Mac shop (on the desktop, at least). We do all our development on Macs. Such a sad and untimely loss for technology and for the world.
It's almost impossible to overstate the imprint Steve left on the world.
Wow, that's fascinating. It's easy to imagine a commercial airport in a competitive market or a dominant airline in a hub city motivated to displace the TSA in a bid to attract passengers.
