you are not coming unglued, your points are valid, but its the conclusion that makes no sense. That is, we are doing all of the things you list, but the easiest way to avoid a WMD laden plane from a foreign country is to shut down US airspace to all foreign flights, or at least those from suspect countries. Divert them all to Canada, or ground them. But you don't see that happening, so what does that tell you? Who would be dumb enough in government to do all these preparatory steps yet not take the simplest one that could stop the event in the first place?

I was wondering the same thing, then read on one of these posts that the planes may well already be in the US.

Your right, good point I heard this am was the elevated alert is more for the first responders and our protectors than us
