It was 15 years ago, not 15 since.
I don’t simply balk at government just to balk at it. There has to be a reason. One cannot simply have everything armed to the teeth at all times - although I do wonder why so few fighters were authorized. (However, I do not think this includes NG units. They may also have been ready or available.)

If there was only aircraft involved in the 9/11 attack instead of four, I can guarantee you that the whole episode would have been brushed under the rug and attributed to some kind of idiotic technical malfunction.
I don't balk at government just to balk at it, but I also don't give it any more credence than the comic pages of my local newspaper.

A government that passed the Patriot Act and created the U.S. Department of Homeland Security after a terrorist attack that the U.S. Department of Defense couldn’t even respond to with an armed fighter jet over our nation’s capital should never be trusted.
