WOW! Someone had knowledge that legally boarded passengers would take control of airplanes with nothing more than box cutters and crash them into buildings!?!?

We got smacked on 9/11 because RICHARD CLARKE spent BILLIONS on anti-terror measures and not one thing was done to stop legally boarded passengers from taking control of airplanes with box cutters.

Four of the hijackers boarded in Maine for a flight to Boston. The airline clerk noted that the four had Arab names, paid for a one way ticket with cash. She remembered the profiles of what a possible Middle East terrorist would have, but her supervisor on the advice of the airline headquarter legal team told her they cannot stop the four men because profiling (issue raised by the Democrats) is illegal and the airline could be sued, unless they had more evidence (such as a bomb, gun, etc). The four got on the plane and later connected the the plane in Boston which ended up in one of the WTC towers. You are right, how is an alert and security upgrade going to stop them under the legal guidance of pre 9/11???
