This is intended for anyone who likes to travel. Its purpose is to show that just because a country has had an airport whose security has been breached, it doesn't mean the country is necessarily a dangerous place.
A plane in Jamaica that was headed for Cuba was hijacked. Luckily, all passengers got out safely and without injuries. Despite this relief, the question remains: how did the hijacker get past airport security?
An investigation is being conducted about the breach. The only thing we know at this point is the hijacker is a" mentally challenged" person, and he was able to pass all the security in Jamaica with a gun on his person. It seems like a very baffling situation, until you start to think about the options. It is most likely an inside job, with the attacker Stephen Fray having a partner-in-crime.
Of course the real issue isn't with the actual deed itself, but where it was taken place. Jamaica. Many people will probably remark that the country is now very unsafe to go to and try to avoid it at all costs. But they don't take into consideration the fact that this happens everywhere in the world. Jamaica just happened to house the wrong person in its country, and that person just happened to be "mentally challenged".
Its still unclear whether or not Stephen Fray will be properly charged for his hijacking (seeing as Vaz proclaimed him "mentally challenged), but we can only be grateful that the people on that plane weren't injured, and hope that this doesn't happen again; anywhere. (Although it most likely will.)
