Chris Tanner's flight key
A flight key was a device used by drone pilots to authenticate themselves within the computer system. Before a pilot could take control of a drone, they had to insert the flight key into a specific slot in the console and use a biometric fingerprint scanner to provide their credentials. Flight keys also served as storage devices, recording the actions and keystrokes of the owner while they operated the drones and also the Drone's flight data.
During Day 9, Lieutenant Chris Tanner's drone was hacked and used to attack an Army convoy in Afghanistan. Tanner's flight key was part of the evidence and, according to Captain Greg Denovo, it confirmed that the attack indeed came from Tanner's console.
Later, Tanner was taken to the United States Embassy in London, along with the flight key, for further investigation. Jack Bauer infiltrated the Embassy in order to intercept the flight key which he needed to gain proof that Tanner's drone was hijacked. Jaack located the room which Tanner was being held in where he was under the guard of Captain Greg Denovo. Jack disables Denovo and talks to Tanner, who tells him that the Flight key is on Denovo. Jack then acquires it.
