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-hijacking escapades modeled on the exploits of "D. B. Cooper," who parachuted out of a hijacked airliner with $200,000 Thanksgiving Eve after ordering the plane to fly from Seattle to Reno.
Of the eight parachute-hijacking attempts, only the "Cooper" case is listed as unsolved. And he might well have met his fate in the Southwest Washington wilderness. At least, not any of the marked bills he received as ransom have turned up.
Thought is being given in Congress to prohibiting airlines from making ransom payments to hijackers. We doubt that any such late could be made workable.
In any event, good law-enforcement work such as that displayed in the recent Utah and California hijacking escapades ought to have a stronger deterrent effect than any additional legislation — that and stern dealing by the courts with all convicted hijackers.
