What about the stronger cockpit doors and orders to not comply with terrorists? Neither of those would have had an effect on September 11th? Or running the passenger manifests through the FBI watch list (some of the terrorists from 9/11 would have been on it)? How about the an increased likelihood of the boxcuters and other makeshift weapons being found at the security checkpoint or in a random search at the gate?
None of these would have had any affect on September 11th? I find that hard to believe, maybe I'm crazy.
Regardless, let's not get too worried about preventing what happened in September again. That's one thing that we should consider, but we also need to consider people trying to bring bombs on board in their checked luggage, shoes or carry-ons, people trying to get weapons on in one way or another, etc...
