At the time, no one thought that: 1. Muslim males would hijack a plane

Lord knows muzzies have never, ever engaged in hijacking....

The boxcutters they used (not “knives”,

If it's got a blade, it's a knife. (Geez do I really need to point that out?)

To have negligence, one must fail to act when a reasonable reason exists to act.

Let's see; multiple muslim males attempt to enter commercial aircraft carrying weapons.

Nope, no reason to get worked up there!

Did you really read my post and absorb the correct context? The quotes you took from it completely distort the meaning.

1. At the time, no one thought that Muslim males would hijack a plane AND use it as a missle.

2. The boxcutters they used (not "knives" although yes they were used in that fashion) weren’t obvious weapons at the time

I rest with my original claim: To have negligence, one must fail to act when a reasonable reason exists to act.

Prove to me that before 9/11, it was reasonable to expect hijackers would crash a plane into a building.

Prove to me that before 9/11, boxcutters were considered weapons on a plane.

If you can't, then you are doing just as I said in my original post: you are analyzing the situation with a post-9/11 mentality.
