The airlines sued for 9/11, based on ‘negligence’?
Good luck finding a judge granting standing on that one.
Apparently that's already occured. Some of the victims families 'opted out' of that screwy government 'settlement'. Where the Constitutional authorization for that one came from, I'll never know. But since the Constitution is largely a dead letter these days I suppose that's irrelevant.
However AA hired the security firm and they were negligent in allowing what was an obvious plot to board commercial aircraft with weapons to proceed right under their idiot noses.
"Legal" is no defense to stupidity after all.
So here's hoping for a major bankruptcy in the airline industry really soon.
