What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

Air desperados face long odds
IT doesn't pay to imitate "D.B. Cooper." If the truth be known, it probably doesn't pay to be "D. B. Cooper," either.
Excellent work by Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law-enforcement agents resulted in the rapid arrest over the weekend of two suspects in separate extortion-parachute-hi- jacking escapades modeled on the exploits of "D. B. Cooper," who parachuted out of a hijacked airliner with $200,000 Thanksgiv- ing Eve after ordering the plane to fly from Seattle to Reno.
Of the eight parachute-hijack- ing attempts, only the "Cooper" case is listed as unsolved. And
he might well have met his fate in the Southwest Washington wil- derness. At least, not any of the marked bills he received as ran- som have turned up.
Thought is being given in Congress to prohibiting airlines from making ransom payments to hijackers. We doubt that any such law could be made work- able.
In any event, good law-en- forcement work such as that dis- played in the recent Utah and California hijacking escapades ought to have a stronger deter- rent effect than any additional legislation — that and stern deal- ing by the courts with all con- victed hijackers.
