This is a typical hoodwinking of the public, used in this case as an excuse to implement legislation for airline safety. Nixon’s Executive Order on FAA safety completely rewrote the book. Your personal scanning, baggage inspection, flight area access, Air Marshals, and a ton of new regulations were the direct result of pressures brought to bear by Duane Weber and Richard McCoy executing a Government Project named “Norjak.” Of course, they had a bunch of help. How else do you think this caper would go UNSOLVED???? WE all got free passes.

Dude, money is paper, you jump out of a plane, freefall for maybe 10 seconds and you’re at 200kph (55m/s, or 125mph). Put a ream of paper in a briefcase and crash a car into something big and heavy at that speed and see if you can hold on.
Now I’m not sure how fast skydivers decelerate when they deploy their ‘chutes but this should illustrate my point.

Errmm…when I originally read it, it was on Yahoo’s home page and this one is the New Zealand version of Yahoo. It was the best I could find now. =[

Maybe Mr Cooper hacked into Yahoo and deleted it to keep himself off the radar! …Or maybe I just didn’t do the search right. **looks left, looks right**

It appears that it’s unlikely.
