Not to sound flippant, but isn't the point of hijacking a vehicle usually to, you know, escape? In which case a bus has to be an only slightly less bad decision than, say, hijacking a train. I've ridden those Greyhounds, and I got the distinct feeling that a particularly fit police officer could catch the damn thing on foot. And it certainly isn't going to outrun a Crown Vic interceptor.

Fusco, who was traveling to visit family in Florida, called for increased security measures on buses.

"Something's got to be done. I could have been dead tonight," he said. "Anybody could walk up on here on a Greyhound bus and have a gun on them and without checking nobody. It might slow things down, but this ain't right."
Yeah, cause that's what we really need: more security theatre. Let's porn-scan all the bus passengers now.
