[NCC-1701]

"...Many 9/11 relatives said the general public should have been warned about the potential for attack during the summer of 2001,..."

If there were any warnings, what would everyone have done? The same as they are doing now, nothing. We have had so many warning color changes in the last year, but that hasn't changed the way people go about the day-to-day activities. Personally, I don't feel any safer now than I did before the first hijacked plane left the gate. The only real hassle has been not being able to board a plane without being made to feel like a presumed criminal. I haven't flown since September 10, 2001 just for that reason. This argument about pre-attack warnings is nothing more than leftist ca-ca. Since I'm singing to the choir, could any of us here on FR have prevented what happened? I surely couldn't. And neither could President Bush. X42 had his chances to avoid the tragedy but he was more interested in having his knob cleaned than nation security. I hope to see a replay of Condi's testimony. Heard she didn't back down once and went on subtle attacks herself. You go girl!!!!! Hope Condi's around for another four years.

Even if they had been warned we still couldn't have stooped at the 19 would have been excluded from searches due to racial profiling.

YOu are right - that doesnt' make sense. We get constant warnings about soft targets etc every day and what are we going to do about it? We still go about our lives just like we did on 9/11. We can't stay home every day because of that. If another terrorist strike happens we just have to deal with it.
