1. An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless device management system comprising one or more of hardware and non-transitory software configured to;
generate a map for a number of wireless devices on an aircraft in which the number of wireless devices is identified in a profile, wherein the map comprises graphical indicators, wherein the profile comprises a number of entries, wherein each entry in the number of entries comprises device properties for a wireless device in the number of wireless devices on the aircraft and a passenger identifier;
identify a risk of a threat that the wireless device in the number of wireless devices on the aircraft accesses a networked physical weapon on the aircraft during operation of the aircraft using state information for the aircraft and the profile; and
manage access to a wireless network on the aircraft by the number of wireless devices based on the risk of the threat identified that the wireless device in the number of wireless devices on the aircraft accesses the networked physical weapon during the operation of the aircraft.
