have we learned anything?
If the local authorities cannot secure the airport property then U.S. carriers should not be flying there.

If the goal is to take out individual airplanes then an inside job is the most direct method and airport workers have near unlimited access. Another means could be use of a man portable weapon well away from an airport.

9/11 wasn't about taking out airplanes but using airplanes as weapons. That hole has been plugged.
