I wonder how many other teams there might have been

This is the real concern. According to my readings for my Master's Degree (National Security Affairs with a concentration in Homeland Security) the southern border is so porus that for the last ten years or more, 10% of all the illegal crossers apprehended have been from threat nations. If the math is correct that could mean up to 70,000 potential terrorists still lurking inside our borders waiting to strike. Even if some of them converted to the American ideal of a happy life, I'll bet far more are still in the hunt for those ineffable virgins.

The original “bojinka” plan had up to 20 airliners being seized at the same time, over the Pacific and elsewhere

KSM, the poor fellow whop was so cruelly waterboarded, was the mastermind of bojinka and also of 9-11

Thanks to the information so grudgingly provided to the CIA by the soggy KSM and other sources, the Bush administration in...? (don't remember the year but remember the airplanes being grounded in Dulles and London) foiled another wave of suicide hijackings of flights originating in London and DC

Cheney has alluded to this successful operation

However,before the boychild obama was installed, we used to have national security teams that did not leak classified information for narcissistic and political gain

I recall that boxcutters were being found on other flights for several weeks after 9-11.

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/23/inv.investigation.terrorism/

“Charles Miller, a U.S. Justice Department spokesman, told CNN some box cutters were found on other planes besides the four hijacked ones, but he did not provide any details.”

And...

I have heard this story for years. Never confirmed. Why dont we have the names of the men who fled? Also just a correction UA 23 was EWR-LAX not JFK. One reason I sort of doubt this is the lack of names plus the fact UA23 was an A320 not 757 or 767. It is a completely different type of plane with a joystick and flyby wire. Plausible story but I can’t confirm it.

I remember about a year after 9/11 there was a report showing 3 other teams to take out the sears tower, capital and one other building I don't remember (might be the white house but I am not sure.)

One of the failed attackers used a bus to commit his jihad which was also a failure.

This is all by memory I don't remember the details sorry
