it is not that it "may" be true - it is true.
Hardening of cockpit doors was discussed long, long before 9/11 but business managers chose not to implement doing so earlier because of cost. Another example of what we know to be true - that businesses will do what is in their customers' or society's best interest and not the business' own short term interest.
