There's new tape of the Hijackers setting of metal detectors..
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Shep just mentioned this....
Well, it's new to all of us, anyway.
Interesting if for no other reason than it shows what life was like before 9/11.
"He set off the metal detector? Aw, that thing's always acting up. Thank you sir, enjoy your flight!"
Shep said there's new tape show the 9-11 Hijackers SETTING OFF METAL DETECTORS, GETTING SEARCHED, AND LET THROUGH...
Logan Airport?
OMG..........OMG.
Bush's fault.
We already knew that boxcutters were not forbidden on planes pre-9/11, didn't we? And we know that the hijackers had boxcutters. So it's not surprising that the hijackers would have set off metal detetctors, emptied their pockets, and been allowed to proceed with their boxcutters.
Although it's interesting that there's video we've never seen, this is nothing really new.
Dulles.
Well this will give the Jersey Girls a few more shows with Chrissy Matthews...to bash Bush.
So what does this suggest to you? A bad search by airport guards OR... a larger conspiracy wherein the weapons had been put on the planes via maintenance workers?
Box cutters were allowed on planes pre-9/11.
Thanks.
I've always heard that the hijackers weren't carrying that day that wasn't allowed on planes. So if they set off a metal detector, so what?
I just saw the clip. The security people were worthless. It was wave a wand and pay me at the end of the day. I don't want to really work at this. I think we're really lucky it wasn't worse.
Actually, from what I've heard only ONE boxcutter was ever seen by anyone on the flights. It has made it into lore that they all had boxcutters, but all we know is that one of them had one on the plane. But your point about them not being prohibited pre-9/11 is true.
Hope they had the security people's faces blacked out.
There is nothing strange or alarming in this video.
The only thing strange about this is that
it has been kept out of view for nearly 3 years.
I wonder what else is out there we haven't seen...
