A man says he has a bomb on a commercial aircraft. We have seen it in movies for decades, but where did it all start. We take a deep dive into the lore of DB Cooper and the implementation of the 'DB Cooper device'. We then explore the audacious copycat hijackings, leading to a broader discourse on the evolution of airport security. Intrigue peaks as we examine a new theory about Cooper's possible identity—a theory that could rewrite the history books. This episode promises to leave you with a profound understanding of the complexities of societal challenges and criminal exploits that have reshaped our world.
