Back to the future

The hijacker seizing a plane and demanding to be taken to Cuba was such a common icon in the 60's and 70's that comics made a riff out of it. Then it became harder to get guns on planes, and bombs became the weapon of choice (which might give gun control advocates pause).

But old standards never die; they're just reinterpreted. They're having a revival in Greece, only with a bus and a demand to be flown to Russia.

How ridiculous! Everybody knows you can't fly a bus to Russia!

Wasn't that on Monty Python?
