I know Karim denied wanting to hack into BA's system for terrorism purposes, but could he have?

Or could he have gained access to low-level material such as hotels around the world where crew stay, or any security procedures they have to go through?

Presumably, though, BA has a robust system in place with proper access levels and a monitoring system for suspicious activity.
