Smokey "The Barefoot" Bandit Captured

19 year old Colton Moore, also referred to as the Barefoot Bandit has been captured in the Bahamas after two years on the run. I first learned of the kid with the cult following when his picture was in the Vancouver Sun a year ago because he was believed to be operating in British Columbia at the time, breaking into homes and stealing airplanes. One of his biggest problems is that he knows how to fly a plane, he just can't land one. I wonder if going to flight school and saying "I don't need to know how to fly a plane, just how to land one" if that would raise red flags at homeland security?

While he will now have a little more time on his hands, he may want to consider writing a screenplay for a movie about his life. Granted it would be very similar to Catch Me If You Can with Tom and Leo, which diminishes the originality and thus the value of the project. They wouldn't be able to cast a better actor than DiCaprio, but with the cult following the kid has, it is what he should be looking to do. He must pay a penalty for his dozens of break, enter, and steal; and I would like to encourage him to find a career that does not involve crime. The world is a better place when we don't steal from one another, and when I see a plane in the sky, I'd like to know that the person flying it is trained to do so.
