More evidence of people knowing in advance. I wonder what "monitored" means here. If the meeting was bugged (or even just videotaped -- there are lip-readers,) I wonder if the content of the discussions was known.
Where that information went and what was done with it would be possible next questions.
The prior coverup of the AirEgypt hijacking to appease Egypt, possibly influenced by the Clinton admin., and whatever other MiddleEastern terrorist acts that may have been covered up also should be examined with these issues in mind.
Had the hijacking been called what it was maybe secuirty could have been revved up.
One question I have is how did the hijackers get the boxcutters past the metal detectors in the first place? Were they planted on the planes by MiddleEastern airline personnell?
One thing is clear though, they got the boxcutters past. This question answered could lead to more procedures to make things safer. Unanswered it suggests a problem. Are we safer now than before? if so we should know exactly how they defeated our security, and have steps made to prevent this from recurring.
