While some fault can be laid at the FAA's feet for their procedure of cooperating with hijackers, there was a large failure of the intelligence community and the administration considering they had the warning at least a month a head of time.
Tell me what TSA is doing right now that would have stopped 9/11 from happening if it were there instead of the FAA?
In the simplest definition of my job, I am a human bomb detector. Not an inherently safe job. But if we put it into a perspective that is current, we deal with large numbers of people we do not know on a daily basis. Any of them could be nuts, could be carrying weapons, needles, knives, clubs, germs (N1H1, or worse), or any of a vast number of dangerous things. The risks are very real, and go on through our entire work day.
And how many people have been killed or jurt on the job from one of these so called risks? Workplace injuries from slinging bags don't count.
I’m not responsible for your ignorance. You have much to learn grasshopper, things that we cannot teach you.
Physician, heal thyself. You repeatedly ignore things people post - or at least don't have the gumption to look at what's posted when you ask a question. And then you call people ignorant?
