It was the news of the other plane hijackings (and terrorist strikes with them) that saved another piece of Washington real estate on 9-11. Telling us “it’s for our own good” doesn’t work.

The hijacker already knows the plane has been hijacked.

The passengers generally do too.

It may be to keep the OTHER planes’ passengers in the air (and waiting to board flights) passive rather than on edge.

So instead of rotten politicians dying, it was brave Americans who died in Shanksville, & NYC, & VA. Is there anyone in DC fit to shine the shoes of the men and women who died that day?

Yes.

The only thing that kept the Capitol building and a goodly portion of congress critters from being crispy critters was the use of in-flight telephones.

As a reward for saving their miserable lives, congress promptly banned the use of in-flight telephones.

It was at this point I knew we were doomed...

I totally agree .. it was the families of those in the air who blew the whistle.

I couldn’t see any problem with it, but I had heard they were trying to stop it for some irrational reason (it was quite a while ago that I heard the rumblings).
