If only genius could be used for the good of mankind.
Our brilliant Hacker had the smarts to reboot a plane to fly to Sochi and counterfeit a visa to Russia to legitimately enter the country (and “whoa” is the word you’re looking for right now).
His egocentric aim was to get himself to the final of ice hockey to see Canada hopefully take the gold, and then observe the Closing Ceremony.
Thing is, hackers are rather narrow in their field of expertise, and oblivious of the broader consequences of their actions.
Rumour is that the Russians have hacked into the Hacker’s system and know he is coming. They do not want this sort of publicity overshadowing their Games. Besides, the local team has made the ice hockey final and that is reason enough to prevent our Hacker’s entry into the country encouraging support for the wrong team.
We all hope he is not primed and ready to go. If he is, the visa won’t do it.
