Well true enough, before 9/11 a highjacking meant you had to detour to
Cuba, nothing to get too excited about.

In the early 1970's, some fool hijacked a Fairchild-Hiller prop jet from
White Plains, NY, and demanded to be flown to somewhere out on Long Island.

At least one aspect of the ease of airliner hijackings should have been
resolved years ago...the cockpit door and the bulkhead between the
cockpit and cabins should have been burst-proof and bullet-proof long
before 9-11, and the door should remain closed during the flight.
