Here's hoping this is the first of many successful challenges to the no-fly list.

This is no different than booting a LiveCD and changing the Windows password from a Linux LiveCD running with access to the same storage device. This is not a flaw in AWS in any fashion, other than illustrating the trust you place in AWS having access to your physical devices. Why is this news? This is a standard if-you-have-access-to-hardware-you-can-have-complete-control-over-everything-on-it-not-encrypted problem.
