Airline hijackings were so common in the late 60s that every passenger aircraft included in its standard kit the landing instructions for the Havana airport. Many of hijackings were simply to get to Havana with not much more of a political agenda. Many hijackers were common criminals fleeing justice.
Anti-hijacking ideas from the American public, 1968. Number 4 is my favorite, but I guess we went with Number 6. http://t.co/yNqm2qdGA8—

Not much better than north Korea. Elysium was a great movie showing the differences between Cuba and Florida.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
