After the 1969 hijacking of an airliner by 14-year-old David Booth, the Attorney General of Kentucky refused to prosecute him, saying that "the federal government did not have facilities to handle prosecution of juveniles". Does this still apply? Are there any laws relating to aircraft hijackings by minors? If anyone knows laws outside the US, I'd also like to know about those. Is this a worldwide legal loophole, so to speak?
