"Interesting if for no other reason than it shows what life was like before 9/11. "

In some ways, no different than today.
The passage below really ticks me...as I recollect that the purchase of tickets with
cash was a warning alarm to airport officials, LONG before 9-11.
I'd love to know what would have happened to an "average white guy"
in line behind these monsters also buying a ticket with cash at the airport...
(maybe he'd been lucky and missed the flight)


from today's "Yahoo" news:

"The video shows hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Majed Moqed, each dressed conservatively
in slacks and collared shirts, setting off metal-detectors as they pass through security.
Moqed set off a second alarm, and a screener manually checked him with a handheld
metal detector.


The pair were known to travel together previously and had paid cash to purchase their
tickets aboard Flight 77 on Sept. 5, 2001, at the American Airlines counter at Baltimore's airport. "
