Obviously they haven't really thought it through, or they'd realize that they're admitting they didn't screen anyone at all. It appears that once Atta got through security in Portland, AA never batted an eye at him. Which was standard security everywhere, and is just changing now, but if I were an AA exec, I wouldn't be jumping up and down telling everyone to look at my lousy security screen.
"We're going to sue you for making it look like we boarded Atta after screening him, when in fact we never screened him at all."
Funny. I was thinking the same thing when I began reading this. They should just put some ice on it and shut UP.
They are probably counting on the demos getting in office again so the next bail out won't need a 9/11 - although I believe they were already in trouble before that day.
