Just a note.. While the Communist countries appear to never be victims of air
hijacking (have you *seen* the security at a Communist airport??), terrorist
acts are far from unknown there. The press there does not report it for obvious
reasons, so we don't learn very much, yet word does come out now and then of
terrorist activity.

I must apologize for forgetting my source on this. I read too much and remember
too little...
