Much to the chagrin of its 278 passengers . . .

And I'll bet not one of them was mad at OBL.

At least one of the two Saudis had previously been deported from the United States, according to Homeland Security sources. A former neighbor in Arizona, who asked to remain anonymous, recalled that federal officials in full body armor rushed the Saudi's empty house several weeks after 9/11 and later arrested him. During FBI questioning, a law-enforcement official told NEWSWEEK, the Saudi acknowledged knowing Hani Hanjour. Upon further questioning, he also conceded that he had known another of the 9/11 hijackers.

What you need to worry about now...is how the brothers will eventually get to the US. I'm betting they end up flying from Amsterdam to Rio (a straight shot with no overflight of the US). And they probably will take a Air Mexico flight from Rio to Mexico City. Their intention...cross the "unguarded" border and make their way to some airport in the southwest. I doubt very seriously that they intend to obtain tickets and actually fly a US airline. My bet is that they will eventually take over some larger FEDEX type plane and use that for their mission. The sophistication that the US has gained over the past two years probably shocks these guys...they used to just fly straight into the US...and now they can't even fly into Mexico (if they cross US airspace).
