Airline highjacking
I saw a news report tonight about the aircraft which was bound from Egypt to Cyprus. Best description ever. An Egyptian official said the highjacker wasn't a terrorist, he was an idiot. Actually I think they all are, some just call them terrorists.

I remember reading something a few years ago about people who test out security to see what they can get away with. One I remember was that it's only when a flight is booked that it's checked against the "no-fly" list. So he booked a flight, then afterwards changed his name to Osama Bin Laden.
Got on the plane no problem.

i don't care what his name is or was. Only what he brings on the plane with him. Unless it's good scotch of course.

The nut cases of the world are coming out of the closet more and more it seems. It's bad enough that we have to be aware of the real terrorism and people willing to blow themselves up, but then you have the people just having a really bad day and decide to do something this stupid.
But true idiots are hard to categorize beyond that sometimes.

The one in the OP was just some nutter that wanted to visit his ex-wife, the belt he was wearing was a fake. It gained more column inches over here from the daft Scottish guy who had his photo taken with him

It's an interesting photo, not just because the hi-jacker allowed it to be taken but also because of the facial expressions. The Scotch () has a sort of manic grin and the hi-jacker just looks relaxed and a little bit sad. Compared to the headline of "man hi-jacks plane" it paints a much calmer picture.You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.
Unless there are steep uphill or downhill section that just can't be done with slicks, i don't see any problem. They will just need to take it slow. The only issue is that it will create very...
