Why fools? All people who were meant for those flights have been investigated and the few who didn't attend seem to be uninteresting at all. It is not like they told all people of those flights "if you are a maniac you can leave the airport now".
I just wonder what you mean by "proper procedures"?

They could have easily penned them into the terminal and executed a full search of everyone, those terminals are very secure if the features are used correctly.

One thought i had was...piloting skills aren't uncovered in a search or interrogation. If someone has the knowledge and the will...they don't need box-cutters...and they won't necessarily be found out in a search.

exactely! The Bush administration has to keep the fear levels up throughout America otherwise the masses will lose interest in the valuble 'war on terror'. I'm not saying that there isn't a threat to American soil, it has got a hell of alot worse since the war in Iraq, but it is nothing like we are told by those cronies in the white house.

ROME -- Terrorists planned to attack the Vatican with a hijacked plane on Christmas Day, Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi said in a newspaper interview published Saturday.
Berlusconi told Milan's Libero newspaper of a "precise and verified news of an attack on Rome on Christmas Day."
"A hijacked plane into the Vatican," Berlusconi is quoted as saying. "An attack from the sky, is that clear? The threat of terrorism is very high in this instant. I passed Christmas Eve in Rome to deal with the situation. Now I feel calm. It will pass."
