Why don't they just build the whole airplane out of the kid?

I can't stand to fly.
I'm not that naïve.

Whatever happened to the barefoot bandit? I know he was finally caught but it's been a few years.

I googled. Federal prison for 6 years. Worth it.

Because that would be a 2 foot plane a bloody, stinky mess.

Is that where you wanted to go with this?

He was the biggest pimp in history. After he was caught he was offered millions for his story. He will be out of prison in a few years.

James Bond could learn from this kid.

This kid basically raised himself. He would live in the woods behind neighborhoods and go into houses during the day to make sandwiches and steal survival stuff.

He taught himself to fly from reading manuals and watching a short video. He would steal a car, drive a few states away, then dump it and take another. He made it from Seattle to Indiana, where he stole a plane and flew to the Bahamas.

He landed the plane in some mangroves, then ate from the locals refrigerators for a few days. He was spotted by the police in a mansion so he ran down the dock, got a boat started and took off. The Bahamian police ended up shooting the motor out after a chase.

This is a resourceful kid who will learn how to get the order rescinded or find a way around it. He has access to a prison law library. He will be a millionaire by thirty.

While what he does is illegal, he is working on a different level than most others.
