The age of air travel, with all
its speed and advanced techno-
logy, has brought with it one of
t he most powerful forms of crime
the world has ever witnessed, the
hijacking. These mass kidnap-
pings have become so prevalent
that they are becoming a plaque
to the entire world.
Air travel has become one of
the safest and most convenient
forms of intercontinental trans-
through the portation
development of highly sophisti-
cated instruments and carefully
engineered jets. The jumbo jet
has made ocean crossings, which
once took months by ship, an
everyday (or at least common)
thing for many people. Air travel
is as safe as riding in a bus.
Everyone knows, of course,
that good things just cannot last,
and this one didn't.
Criminals, political subersives,
any maniac saw air travel as a
way to attract attention; to raise
money; or to further their cause.
By holding the • airplane, its
passengers and its crew for
ransom these so called
"hijackers" could force govern-
ments to meet their outrageous
demands of money or power.
Flying has become something to
befeared with hijackings possible
any time anywhere.
What can we do to eliminate
this twentieth century piracy?
How can it be stopped? These
questions are being asked all over
the, world and various measures
have been taken to curtail, the
activities of these air pirates
before they leave the ground and
while in the air,
Most airports throughout the
world are equipped with elec-
tronic metal detectors to expose
hidden weapons both in the
luggage and those concealed on
each passenger's body. These
devices are not foolproof and it
appears that someone who is truly
serious about taking over an
airplane can still get his weapons
on board.
Hijacking is a topic which has
held a high 'priority with many
governments. Some countries
have placed the death penalty or
long jail terms on hijackers in
their countries. This, unfortun-
ately, is not universal and various
nations will still grant amnesty to
sky pirates coming, into their
countries.
Now, however, after last
month's spectacular hijacking by
a radical guerrilla group which
was finally ended by German
commandos, the United. Nations
has decided to see what they can
do about the ever increasing
problem. May be they will be able
to draw up some form of
Lesilation 'which will be accepted
by all nations and will discourage
potential hijackers. Maybe they
can implement some new, and
improved surveillance devices at
airports. maybe they can stop this
terrorism of the air.
If the United Nations is
successful in elminating sky
piracy, flying may again become
the safest method of long distance
travel.
