There were skyjackings long before 0/11, and we did just fine at securing aircraft for decades before 2001.No hijackers tried flying the planes themselves prior to 9/11, nor did they try flying a plane into a building before then. It probably should have been expected that at some point someone would try it, and counterterrorism experts said so, but the governments and airlines didn't really train for such a possibility as far as I know. Now that it has been done, it probably won't be tried again, since the passengers will fight back. There has to be a better way to do airline security...how about not letting suspected terrorists get NEAR the airport in the first place? Take a field trip to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Lots of insight on how to do security right here, here, and here. And, now, we come back to the first point in your post: While I agree with you that strict airport security is a necessary evil of our time It always has been, but no one wanted to deal with it until 9/12/01. |
