Not if no one wants to pay for it. Security comes at a cost other than monetary as well. Freedom, as we are seeing with the likes of the Patriot Act.

Wrong..it proves that alot of things that should have been done, and that have been done in the past, weren't done.

It proves that one small plane was intercepted more quickly one time.

"How many potential targets do you think there are?
Nuke plants, power plants, bridges, sports arenas, cruise ships, airports, and many more including buildings. Which do you protect, which do you leave to fate? It can't be done.

The pilots in this country should have been armed years ago. There would probably have been NO crashes that day."

There's shitloads of potential targets, no doubt, but I'd think that the more prominent ones would have some degree of security protocol in place in regards to them. Huge buildings, housing thousands of people, and nuclear power plants, the destruction of which would obviously be a big problem, would seem to me to make the most sense from a priority perspective; leaving other potential targets to fate is unfortunate, for sure, but if you have limited resources for such purposes, wouldn't it make sense to establish a sound security program in regards to these at least? I don't see why on flight security hasn't existed either, if not the pilots having guns, as they are kinda busy flying the planes, then an agent flying with every flight.

They aren't covered now for the most part. There are plenty of articles about just how vulnerable we still are. There is little that can be done.

And I was wrong about the number of daily commercial flights....
"Of the 22,000 daily commercial aviation flights, the average number of daily system delays recorded by the FAA from April through August totaled 1290."
Link

Question - How do you cover 22,000 flights?
Answer - Arm the pilots.

Security has sucked for years because we became complacent. Cheesy doors didn't help. Pilots are the last line of defense and once the cockpit has been breached they and they alone have the potential to do anything. Perhaps you've heard of air marshals. What good are they? Cops are generally fairly easy to pick out of a crowd. What could one or even two have done to stop suicidal hijackers?

Okay fine...so maybe you could comment on why no jets were sent to intercept?....I realize that you are not in command of NORAD or the Air force, so just your opinion will do...

It's already been proven that it IS procedure to do so when radio contact is lost.
It's been proven that Jets can be scrambled in minutes for this same reason.
It's been proven that it has been done in the past...

So I ask the simple question...WHY WEREN'T ANY JETS SCRAMBLED ON 9/11?




Yeah, as was mentioned I wasn't here. I was helping a candidate.

I thought I answered this question before. We weren't prepared to be that responsive. Translate that into, "We fucked up." The same can be said for the passengers. They thought, mistakenly I might add, that the 'government' could solve their problems.

Turns out they couldn't and they can't. Each of us are directly responsible to take care of ourselves as much as possible. There are emergency situations that no one, including ourselves, can prevent.

As luv pointed it we can't protect ourselves completely using the government in that situation.

Also imagine that we could have responded as we should. The end of that scenario would have been the government shooting down the planes before they made contact. Imagine that, drink that in. What response would the citizens have had?

"Not if no one wants to pay for it. Security comes at a cost other than monetary as well. Freedom, as we are seeing with the likes of the Patriot Act."

Paying for it financially, what do I know of where the taxes go, maybe the funds do exist for maintaining a greater degree of security in regards to prominent targets, or maybe the military could include such protection within the domian of what they do; some reasonable solution could be found, I'd think.

"Freedom,..." Freedom's a pretty big concept, and how much do we give up for the purpose of safeguarding ourselves? I don't know, but people hold the concept of freedom pretty close to their hearts here, and giving up so much that one's own privacy is significantly compromised probably wouldn't sit too well with most people.

"It proves that one small plane was intercepted more quickly one time."

Come on man, if they could be on that plane, they can respond to others as well.

If you are given to such conspiracy theories I must also assume you think Vincent Foster was murdered by Herr Klinton. Or does your propensity for conspiracy only lean in one direction?

I'd have to agree that one air marshall or cop against a group of highjackers wouldn't be good odds - but they shouldn't be able to get on the plane with guns, one hopes, and so a marshall armed with a gun should have an advantage over even several highjackers with ceramic knives.

Like I said..no-one is saying that the planes should or shouldn't have been shot down. But not ONE single plane was even sent to intercept or investigate...I'd say that goes far beyond a simple "Fuck up".

Answer- We weren't prepared to be that responsive

.....,there were plenty of airworthy jets and personnel who could have intercepted, but didn't.......why?

I know the us is pretty incompetant, but i just can't believe they wouldn't investigate or at least send up some jets for a look, after the numerous radio contacts that were lost from the hyjacked planes....especially after the first one crashed......how can you swallow that?

And if so, why are the other measures of security put into place(patriot act, department of homeland security), when if they had responded as they should have, the situation prolly would have been avoided?

It's pretty obvious that it was a major and complex fuck-up. Who could think otherwise?

I could...A fuck-up of that magnitude is beyond comprehension. I think that anyone that doesn't at least 'suspect' Bush knew is fooling themselves.

That's easy. I have worked with the government for years. I know how incompetent they really are. Believe me, it's scary.

My guess is they want to strip us of the few remaining freedoms we have.

I don't know that it's really a matter of incompetence, it seems more deliberate than that. How does explain a complete breech of response procedures in this situation? Ooops?

"And if so, why are the other measures of security put into place(patriot act, department of homeland security), when if they had responded as they should have, the situation prolly would have been avoided?"

Smells a little funny, but this is where the conspiracy theory starts taking off, of course.

Yes, very scary.

Yes, that's scary too. But why take out their incompetence on the citizens with the Patriot Act?
