I'm just saying, he only stole a damned plane. Who cares? It's not like he hurt anyone. He let all the passengers leave the plane. They never even knew he was hijacking the plane.

And, the article doesn't say who he robbed. He could have just knocked over a couple liquor stores.

Because of these things, I submit to you that he is nothing like the al-qaeida hijackers.

To me, it boils down to -- 'how valuable is a plane'. I don't think stealing a plane is worth 20 years. I think people who think that are just mystified by the glamor of the mysterious airplane. "Oohhh.. he pulled a gun at 35.000 feet! Lock him up!". I mean, someone pulls a gun on the ground, he doesn't get 20 years. Why should it be any different if he's way up high?
