Sure, but you probably shouldn't mess with planes, even is mundane or trivial.
For some reason, we treat planes super differently than every other public space or transport.
At least we limit security theater to airports. Could you imagine if you had to arrive at every bus station and train depot two hours early, so you could wait in line for a security screening that fails 95% of the time?
We should do this for taxi rides and cars.
The WiFi isn’t connected to the “plane”,
and if it is, and it historically has been, that’s a different problem also not the hackers’ fault.
Delta's setup and procedures were able to catch up on that. Good move from their side !
Police was involved
