Larry Silverstein began spending every morning at the World Trade Center shortly after he inked a 99-year deal to operate the complex in July 2001. The New York developer would have breakfast at Windows on the World, the restaurant on the 107th floor of the North tower, and then meet for several hours with tenants. But on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, he was at home, dressing for a doctor's appointment his wife had made for him, instead of at his usual table at Windows. "I had said to my wife, sweetheart, cancel my doctor's appointment. I have so much to do at the Trade Center," he recalls. "She got very upset and told me I had to go. As it turns out, that saved my life."

What was he being checked for - guilty pains in his conscience?

Remember that modern legal systems are founded upon the principle of innocence until proven guilt. It is unethical to convict him in your mind.

This is not something that is particularly warranted, as far as I know he did nothing in relation to 911 which any normal person would not do.

He's a billionaire property mogul who just so happened to be the owner of WTC 7 - the building that collapsed in mysterious circumstances.

This is nothing but speculation though. I'm assuming that you don't lend any credence to the "pull it" theories, and if not then what reason is there to suspect his involvement even if you conclude WTC7 was demolished 'artificially'.

By virtue of being the owner (proprieor, leaseholder, whatever technical legal term you want to use) of WTC 7, Lucky Larry is involved in the story. Remember that he has already been implicated in a tangle of words between what he did or didn't discuss with Chief Nigro.
Wasn't it Chief Nigro who decided, on his own, to pull his men back, without discussing the decision with the owners? Wasn't it Lucky Larry who stated that he discussed doing this with the unnamed Fire Chief?
Sure, without firm proof, it is not possible to cast anything more than harsh suspicion upon Lucky Larry. He's an awfully lucky man, don't you think?
