Do also avoid flying in the USA ? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I have a serious fear of flying. So I tend to keep my feet on the ground as much as possible.
Something must have happened for him to change seats later. Maybe he was surveying the group during the trip and picked someone that posed less of a threat? I say this is just a little disturbing because I hear about crazier things happening everyday. The fact that he did this calmly makes me wonder if he'll get off for the murder charges and just go to an insane asylum.
A small update taken from another source-

TORONTO - A 40-year-old man who witnesses said stabbed and beheaded his seat mate on a Greyhound bus in Canada made his first court appearance Friday, while police offered no motive for the savage attack against the 22-year-old carnival worker.
Vince Weiguang Li, of Edmonton, Alberta, has been charged with second-degree murder and walked into the courtroom Friday in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba with his head bowed.
He did not reply when the judge asked him if he was going to get a lawyer, and only nodded slightly when asked whether he was exercising his right not to speak.
The prosecutor asked for a psychiatric assessment, but the judge said he wanted to give Li a chance to meet with his lawyer. Li's next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.
Authorities have not released the victim's name but The Canadian Press said friends had identified him as Tim McLean and said he was headed to Winnipeg after working with the carnival in Edmonton.
William Caron, 23, said McLean was quiet, though he liked to socialize with friends. He was small "” about 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds "” and tended stayed away from a fight, Caron said.
"From what I hear, this other guy is three times his size," Caron said. "All the time I've known Tim, he's never been the type of guy to get into a fight with. He always kept to himself when there's strangers around."
