Within the wonderful CRYPTO-GRAM newsletter from Bruce Schneier we are told of a Somalian woman who boarded a plane in Blenheim, New Zealand and stabbed both pilots and a passenger while demanding to be flown to Australia. Schneier's article is below:

"There are a couple of interesting things about the hijacking in New Zealand last month. First, it was a traditional hijacking. Remember after 9/11 when people said that the era of airplane hijacking was over, that it would no longer be possible to hijack an airplane and demand a ransom or demand passage to some exotic location? Turns out that's just not true; there still can be traditional non-terrorist hijackings.

And even more interesting, the media coverage reflected that. Read the links above. They're calm and reasoned. There's no mention of the T-word. We're not all cautioned that we're going to die. If anything, they're recommending that everyone not overreact. Refreshing, really.

Funny how people with knives are still getting on planes despite "increased security" and not a mention of terrorism, thankfully. It's nice to see the media actually making the differentiation between random acts of stupidity and crime, and that of actual terrorism.
