Why couldn't these guys have packed some c4 onto the planes the night before they took off?????

So planes crashed into the twin towers and the pentagon.
The towers collapsed and the 1/5 of the pentagon got annihilated.
The towers were designed to withstand planes.
No one has absolute proof that the pentagon was hit by a missile and the towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions.
So what if there were tons of C4 or other explosives in the planes?
There are instances of employees transporting tons of coc aine between Mexico and US without anyone noticing.
I think explosives in the planes would explain everything.

Are you referring, by "these guys" to the 19 Muslim hijackers? Who were passengers booked that morning, NOT employees.
No airport access.
No access to "tons" of C-4 (how DO you get C-4, anyway? Wal-Mart??)
Even a "ton" of something, to load onto the airplane...2,000 divided by five people (per airplane....four in one case). That's a lot of back-breaking work. Gee, and the baggage handlers who loaded the airplane that morning, the mechanics and pilots who did the walk-around didn't see anything...sorta buries this theory, it would seem.

Hey Weed - dont you know that the plane was made from C4 ! That way
didnt have to smuggle it onboard! Brillant - just like building the C4 into
the WTC towers and WTC 7 so could blow them up without leaving a
trace!
They're EMPLOYEES
They can load as much as they want because no one would notice.

I am aware of the CIA airplanes.
Not even closely related to the concept put forth in the OP. You aren't being serious, I hope??
I mean, we're comparing a private business jet=sized airplane under control of CIA personnel to a passenger jet (which, yes, COULD carry a lot of payload....) but is NOT immune from observation by dozens of prying eyes...
UNLESS you wish to go the route of assuming that EVERYBODY was 'in on it'??
Truly....these sorts of comparisons aren't helping in the search for the "truth" now, are they?

Well, then how do YOU know about it??
Source examples of "tons" of coc aine being smuggled between Mexico and the US by airline employees, please.

IF you are referring to the coc aine smuggling ring, then yes, you are correct. THAT particular group was caught in 2009. There was ANOTHER group, nabbed in Miami, back before 9/11....
The coke was secreted in panels that they pried open, the fiberglass liners of the cargo holds....between the linersand the airplane skin.
Suitcases??? You DO understand the concept of Customs inspections and checked luggage, correct? I mean, these are International Flights...you don't think the suitcases are the most obvious way, and will get greater scrutiny?

I mean, we're comparing a private business jet-sized airplane (the Gulfstream G-2) and a DC-9, under control of CIA personnel, to a larger passenger jet (or jets, the two B767s....which, yes, COULD carry a lot of payload....) but they were NOT immune from observation by dozens of prying eyes...
