No, not a primary terrorist target- not even a secondary or tertiary otherwise we would see many more attempts since 9/11 than we've seen . How many millions of passenger miles between 9/11 and the previous hijacking in the US? Please tell us again just how many terrorists were discovered and turned over to law enforcement at TSA check points in the past week, month, year, last five years. With a budget in the billions of dollars TSA must have discovered several tens of thousands of terrorists.
What was the primary reason 9/11 was successful? Was it due to security lapses at the check points? Was it due to the inflexible SOP the airlines had in place for dealing with terrorists? Was it instead a 'perfect storm' of security holes?
