I just read some extracts from the 9/11 Commission
here.
Even though you hear 9/11 this, 9/11 that every day - it's become a cliche, really - reading those accounts, imagining what it must have been like to be on those flights, remembering that day gave me chills.
It's become so easy, amidst all of the ridiculousness to forget what exactly is happening - or rather, is NOT happening. After reading those transcripts, reading all the 'security' measures that were in place that day, I'm reminded that nothing has actually changed, and it makes me angry. I think that TSA officials ought to read those transcripts every day, first thing in the morning, to remember what the consequences of failure are.
Incidentally, does anyone know what, if anything, happened to those security screeners who let the hijackers through? You'd think someone would at least get disciplined for something like that.
