Hate to tell you this people - 9/11 was totally preventable. If the new FAA administrator was not so bound and determined on reorganizing the FAA so as to permit outsourcing, and if the people at the top of various agencies had seen fit to make certain that the info about aircraft as suicide bombs had been well disseminated, we might be in a different world.
FAA policy, as well as US Airlines, was to cooperate with hijackers and do whatever they say. That is why men with boxcutters could hijack an airliner. The cockpit of every airliner has a small fire ax, which, combined with a narrow door, gives you a narrow one-at-a-time access. The resulting tussle, even if the crew loses, should result in a crash versus a controlled suicide bomb. That is worst case.
Since I work for the FAA, and I have watched the fixation with outsourcing my job - as of October 1st my job is eliminated, with the rest of the system close behind - this is from direct observation and fact. The first thing the new FAA adminstrator appointed by Bush did was to declare Air Traffic as not inherently governmental (i.e. not primarily safety oriented), versus pay attention to any of the admittedly limited warnings filtering down to the FAA. By the way, my division of Air Traffic never did strike, so you don't need to to make any ad hominen attacks in response.
