On: After 45 years, FBI closes investigation into unsolved 'DB Cooper' hijacking

I was pretty young then but I think all luggage did get x-rayed and you walked through a metal detector. the new things are liquid restrictions, removing shoes, etc

If they didn't x-ray carry-on, ask yourself this, why didn't the hijackers just bring AK-47's in their briefcases.

Checked bags are the ones you don't carry on. They're not accessible to passengers.

I said all luggage. Isn't carry-on luggage?

Sorry. I'd thought you misunderstood due to this part, which appeared to be refuting a claim nobody made:

> If they didn't x-ray carry-on, ask yourself this, why didn't the hijackers just bring AK-47's in their briefcases.

Oh lord, clearly I wasn't processing what I was reading, I thought my original parent was saying they thought carry-on wasn't x-rayed.
