Ever since I received this same e-mail, a few days ago, I’ve had the same eerie feeling that it might not be completely genuine. However, all Internet searches have been fruitless. Plenty of John Burnett’s around, some involved in aviation, but no mention of either Memphis, Fed-Ex or hijacking.
Even if he does exist, I am not sure many will follow his suggestions. Internationally concerted efforts towards more protection are still preferable. I, for one, am not Hannibal stuff.
