I'm not a fan of Edward Jay Epstein, but if he's correct here, I for one have been taken in. And I don't like being had. I thought there was good reporting on what the hijackers used for weapons. We do know they killed stewardesses, pilots and maybe others to intimidate the passengers.

Anyone have any other info?

All of this back and forth about what kind of weapon was used is moot. While it may be inportant to someone, all I know is that until I'm allowed to carry the implement of my choice for my personal self-defense (a handgun), I'm not flying again.

Why would anyone believe anything the govt has to say anymore. Over and over again the govt has been proven to be a bunch of dim bulb, pathological liars.

Using the same logic, what evidence exists that the hijackers didn't use F-16s, hand grenades, aircraft carriers or Trident D-4 boats? Get the point?
