Hey, maybe the guy is as bright as anyone else. He had the desire to go to a rap concert, and knew that planes are faster for interstate travel, and knew that airports had planes. He picked out a twin jet like a CRJ or something so he figured that would be plenty fast. Heck, maybe he's just a criminal genius that happened to get caught this time. Why should the govt be tasked with his medical care, mental health and feeding if he's sane? Prison will work just fine, and less than 1/10 the cost. Being smart, or stupid is not against the law, but ACTING like a criminal by trying to steal a plane is against the law.
