Condi Rice makes a good case for the Bush Administration but the airlines and airports to this day have failed to provide adequate deterrence for future bombings.
It was only after 9/11 that Air Marshals were placed again on planes, that reinforced cockpit doors were installed. And to this day there are no inspections of cargo, checked in luggage, checking of airline and/or airport employees. Any employee cleaning up a plane after a flight could leave a bomb on board. And a bomb could be placed inside cargo or checked luggage.
If all of these problems had been corrected beforehand there would not have been a 9/11. Period!
I think I will continue to refrain from flying commercial airlines, thank you.

President Bush was in office eight months prior to September 11, 2001. The GAO held the keys to the White House as long as possible and the Florida fiasco delayed a smooth transition (along with a bit of vandalism by the out-going Clinton staffers). The new FBI director had been on the job less than two weeks. And prior to President Bush taking office, airport security was traded for campaign dollars by Gore.
