Jingus 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 If the intelligence agencies knew, then why would they allow their own headquarters (Pentagon) be attacked, not to mention the thousands of lives and billions of dollars lost when the WTC went down? Nobody in the US goverment intentionally let this happen. It was just a massive series of fuckups on everyone's part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank God you don't demonize folks. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 Actually, it wouldn't have been an issue if people hadn't been taught, for years, to give the terrorists what they want in those situations. Ditto this, although I was concerned saying that would be called unfairly criticising the dead or something by others. It's embarassing all the way around, really. Granted, nowadays you probably can't hijack a plane in the US without everyone ganging up and beating you down and tying you up until you land, but that honestly should have been happening before 9/11. It's also sad that because one guy decides to use his shoes as an explosive every flyer has to take off his shoes at the airport check-in, which always looks like it was assembled in 3 minutes in a room that used to be a lobby or a cafe or something, even though Airport Security has existed since the 70s and airports (around here anyway) still don't really have an actual place built specifically for it. This line, when exxagerated, often stretches into the next ZIP code. Fuck it. I say we totally adopt Israel's model. No hour-long security waits while they do everything short of feel your goods, and still security tight enough that nobody would want to fuck with it. It works for them over there, and El-Al has been a much bigger target than American airlines are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
