PS.........sometimes it is what is NOT OBVIOUS and what cannot be explained by equations etc. ( although that is important too. )
It is also not reasonable to say these bozos were not bright ......as to pull off what was truly brillant ...as the event changed the country and the world in just a few moments on a Sept morning. An event of such magnitude cannot be simplistically explained as "they" would have you believe.
............the reality is that it is frightening to even consider the implications of the "help" they might have had. It goes against everything we as a civilzed nation stand for............and yet.....one cannot rule it out.
We have no idea of the degree of horrific "ops" that are carried out around the world for political reasons. History has shown that leaders (not all of course) have not hesitated to kill a few of their own people for political reasons, power etc etc. Particulary if such an "op" would enhance the leaders power ( different rules when the nation is "threatened " or at war) and facsilitate said leader/ gov't agenda.
Re: security on plans and airports.
The terrorists did not "gain " anything there. The leadership and the population willingly created and consented to have all that put in place on the basis of national security. Mention national security and the people gladly give up their rights and freedoms for their personal security or the promise of.
Ya see , In reality there is NO :SUCH THING a complete personal security or national security and that is why good judgement is important when these decisions are made.
death does not matter to suicidal terrorista anyhow. They are there for a "cause" of some kind that might only make sense to them in a perverse kind of way. They are prepared to die for their cause , belief or whatever the issue is. And that alone makes them irrational .

What did the terrorists gain? Have you tried getting on an airplane lately? Have you noticed a lot of American tourists up here throwing disposable income around? Sure they had some help - in lax measures and an almost smug sense of security. They were experienced pilots - none of whom are really all that hard to find. Among people who believe the after life is infinitely better than the one at hand, what does death matter? Don't apply Western ideals and values on another culture. That may well be one of the root causes of the resent.
