"Another galactically idiotic statement."

Really smartass? Who was responsible for airline security before 9-11 Mr. Know it all? That's right, the airlines. Perhaps you should look in the mirror before proclaiming you're the All Knowing, All Seeing God of everything.

[Diddle E. Squat]

So if you partially blame the airlines for 9/11, then I take it that you also partially blame the military for the looting that took place at that Baghdad museum?

Who was responsible for airline security before 9-11.

Looking at the airline industry through post-9/11 glasses is like punishing your kid for touching the stove because he didn't know it was hot.

Nobody envisioned Arabs with box cutters highjacking planes to fly them into buildings, least of all United and American management.

I challenged you to think before you reply. Are you capable of it? Tell me what security rules the airlines violated on 9/11.
