Tom Clancy's "Debt of Honor" it was the pilot who crashed the plane into the Capital not hijackers.
Reinforced door would have done no good there either.
I once read a book about an honest lawyer once too. But somethings are too far fetched to be seriously considered.
Boeing would be fortunate to have 12 of you on the jury.
The pain that these people know is tremendous. My heart still aches for my best friend in grade school who died in the attacks. I really don't want to sound crass.
However, I agree with you. These are the richest disaster victims ever. They have recovered a lot of money without much effort through worker's compensation and life insurance. A tort suit takes three years minimum with no guarantee of payment. These people were paid within a month of the attacks.
It is a joke that the government is attempting to indemnify entitites that have little or no liability.

Still, we must tame this tiger now, or it will eat our children and children's children.

Hear! Hear!
Ah. So the families can't recover through the courts, but you think they should go there anyway, instead of being compensated by the feds (war is job one) for damage from a war action.
Mighty big of you to allow them their horrific exercise in futility. Last time I checked, horrific exercises in futility were not the point of small government.
