Personally, I don't want anyone and everyone to be allowed on an airplane, carrying a concealed gun. The terrorists could have the same " rights ", if this were the case. Armed pilots ? I'm not adverse to that ... with a few caveats. Though not a majority, there have been and no doubt still are, pilots who do fly drunk, with a hangover, on not enough sleep. These are facts, that come out after some horrible accident. Why isn't there more scrutiny ? Damned if I know.
I would like to see more armed air marshalls ; I'd like them flying on every plane. It's NOT ; however, the government's job description, to make private companies do this.
Your paltry few suggestions, would not have averted 9/11 . The only things, which would might have done that, would have been a REAL " police state " being installed here. You would have been screaming blue murder, over that.
Depending upon which report you read / which person you hear talking about this, the airlnes were wraned ... or they weren't. Who knows ?

If there were just one armed civilian on any of those airplanes it would have made a big difference. If you're old enough to remember, the US was relatively immune to hicjackings in the 70's due to the fact that there were armed civilians on board.

Are YOU suggesting that China wasn't holding American servicemen hostage? Change the subject alert!

"Bush Knew"......here's what I know: The pre 9-11 Dems are no different than the post-9-11 Dems.

We didn't have to know where they were going to crash, only that positively profiled Arab operators had to be prevented from boarding our planes.

Thanks for the ping. I think I am going to have to side with Bush on this one. (Miracle of miracles)
I think everyone knew that this was coming but no one knew when or where. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that they would fly jumbos into the WTC.
I am afraid that act 2 is coming soon but who knows where or when. I'm glad I don't have to make the call.
To: TxBec
Man. Took a full day and a half for me to get this. LOL!

GOOD ONE!!! THIS is gonna bite the Dems and Louis Freeh and Tenet BIG TIME! The plot thickens. Think I know why Louis Freeh decided to leave his post now.

A total bodily search, emptying of all luggage, armed guards all over the place, and the dreaded racial profiling, etc.
I think you get the idea.
To: Lazamataz
Laz,it is my OPINION that Bubba Bush is getting some REALLY lousy advise on this. It's too late now,but the best response WOULD have been to shrug it off as ridicilous,and never address it again. When he sends Condi and other administration officials out to deny it,all he is doing is giving it wings. Even worse,when HE comes out a couple of days in a row and comments on it,it actually makes him look guilty and trying to cover up.
I don't know who has been advising him,but whoever it is damn sure ain't doing him any favors!
To: Lazamataz
A-MEN!

Let's hope that the dog simply craps generously in their yard!
