6. I don't think it would have been all that easy to prevent

If Gore had been president and taken the warnings seriously, it might have been possible to disrupt, but it was so evil and deviously clever. They still weren't thinking in terms of suicide attacks. For example they did check a couple of the hijackers' luggage, but the assumption was that someone would not get onto a plane if they were going to blow it up.

And ironically, does anyone think of the wiretapping and other invasions of privacy that might have been done? Seems the same posters find that such an outrage and yet that's what could have been the result. More wiretaps on people who were later hijackers or other assistants.
