11. Now that we know that airport security is an imperfect line of defense and thankfully not the last line since we now have air marshals, hardened cockpit doors and a more attentive class of passengers, does it not make sense to arm pilots on every flight to increase the odds that security measures are never again breached? In other words, to take a concrete example: Is it more important to save 3,000 lives than to protect the life of a hijacker?

12. What are the recommendations by the Panel for better immigration controls, especially as it involves biometric identification, tracking and reporting?

13. Is the Al Gore brokered agreement with airlines not to single out more than two members of the same ethnic group now considered to be obsolete and should be abandoned?

14. What weight did the Panel accord pre-9/11 reports from Russian intelligence as recently disclosed by President Putin that Saddam was actively working to attack Americans?

15. What evidence threshold can be recommended in evaluating whether any particular group is responsible for an attack on a US facility or ship before taking effective action against that group or in accepting offers to extradite the group's leader?

Is this actually a formal regulation (law) or just an urban legend?
