>>>The majority of the terrorists may have been duped into believing the attack date was the 16th. The tickets would have assured them that the 10th was not the day they would die. <<<
Isn't it true that some of them on September 11 didn't know they were involved in an actual suicide mission? Seems to me that it would be extremely difficult to stay calm and look "normal", and not draw attention to yourself or "the plan", all the while knowing that you're looking at the last few hours or minutes of your life. 72 virgins waiting in the wings or not.... Considering that, the plan could have been that only one or two leaders know the real deal is going down, thus keeping the young "recruits" calm. Authorities found 2 suicide letters. Geeze, yesterday could have been the real thing.
Bingo !

They knew. Suicide "martyrs" have a ritual where they wash the body and put on clean linen. They peformed this ritual several days before the attack.
