Here's an alternative hypothesis for you - the way the FBI has investigated the anthrax attack it has become clear that someone in a key investigative position is an AlQeada agent. That person has done everything they could to divert the investigation from the Florida connection.
Well, I always thought so, but others didn't. In any case, it's different to have an actual document with American style dates written by one of the 9/11 hijackers just a couple of weeks before the hijacking. It's no longer a matter for speculation -- there's now hard evidence that Alshehhi used American-style dates. And this was in a hotel registration card, obviously written quickly, without much thought.
with many of them having worked at convenience stores or as taxicab drivers - those are the type of employers that have their employees writing down dates constantly.
Did any of the hijackers actually work at convenience stores or as taxicab drivers? I know that many Middle Easterners and other foreigners work at such jobs, but did these specific people?

This seems doubtful, and there's no real evidence for it. I don't think any one person at the FBI could do that, since people like Rumsfeld wouldn't put up with it.
