What should WE do....

How many warnings like this one were evident pre 9/11? Look it up phone boy. You sit in front of the computer all day. The airlines were warned in general fashion in the years prior to 9/11/01, but they did not bolt their cockpits shut with unobtanium. WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

I looked it up, and this is what I found.

I think that WE should DEMAND the truth and accept it for a change.


Here's the story, according to NewsMax.com and the Boston Globe.
After TWA Flight 800 crashed in 1996, Al Gore was named chairman of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety. It came to be known as the "Gore commission."
So, on Sept. 9 of that year, the Gore commission produced a preliminary report – one that proposed several measures to improve security at airports. The proposals included matching every piece of baggage to a passenger and better training for airport screeners.
But the airlines complained. They said the new procedures would cost too much money. They said that more rigorous screening and baggage matching would take too much time, causing more delays and missed connections.
