Airport video shows hijackers being searched before boarding plane

The US missed 10 opportunities to detect and disrupt the al-Qaida September 11 conspiracy before the attacks took place, a report by an official commission of inquiry is expected to claim today.
On the eve of the report, surveillance video from Washington Dulles international airport, broadcast on television last night, showed four of the five hijackers on the flight that crashed into the Pentagon being pulled aside to undergo additional scrutiny after setting off metal detectors, but then permitted to board the flight.

However, the September 11 commission report will stop short of ruling whether the hijackings should have been prevented, a critical issue in the heat of a presidential election campaign.

According to the Washington Post, the bipartisan commission will instead leave readers to draw their own conclusions from the 600-page report's description of the 10 missed chances - four during the Clinton administration and six on President George Bush's watch

Can you say the ACLU would have sued the airlines into bankruptcy if they would have denied our religion of peace friends access to boarding the planes prior to 9-11. Hell they are still running scared about being sued, what a crock of shit.

CAN U SAY THE MISSED MEMO ON AUG. 6 WHILE BUSH WAS ON VACA ON HIS RANCH?

The release of these videos changes nothing. You could still board an aircraft with a knife under a certain length. I should know as I've done it. I thought I was going to jail but the guy said that it was OK and on I went. Hell, not even 4 months ago I used a knife for my meal provided by the airline. Mace can be hidden without setting off the metal detectors so that was no problem.

Nothing short of having fighter jets and SAM's deployed nationwide there was little that could have been done to prevent this. Even the commission said so. That's not to say we should sit idle but you got to keep your expectations realistic.

Jayharn,

Should Bush have interned every Arab looking male after he read that report or just closed down all the airports. Get your head out of your ass.

The Sudanese offered OBL to Clintton three times on a silver platter and he felt getting a head job was more important than protecting America.

Jay, did you read the memo, or just the headline?

My guess is neither...Michael Moore told you what it said and that was good enough for you.

jay,

do you understand what propaganda is? how many memos to this day do you think the government reads daily that say the radical muslims want to attack xyz. do you suggest we round up all the arab looking people and intern them? America is an open and free country we cannot protect every target.
