The author of a book called "The Skyjacker, His Flights of and the. founder of the Aberrant Behavior Center, which examines hijackers, Hubbard said the news media could control hijackings. "I call upon you to voluntarily exercise that high level of ethical and moral responsibility of which the media are capable, to properly inform itself about this crime and the party played in it by the media," he said. "From studies of previous offenders it is perfectly clear that the media has betrayed this nation's skyjacking deterrence systems to future hijackers; stimu- ated their (the hijacker's) sick need for Jiotoriety; and have communicated skyjacker techniques like Typhoid Mary in nursery," Hubbard said the.

news media should not report hijackings simultaneously but "delay until completion."
