Just days before September 11, Rowley and FBI in Minneapolis had been warned of the oddball who was only interested in "turning" 747s in flight, not at all in taking off or landing. So...the flight instructors called the FAA. They called FBI who told them to "Fuggedaboudit." The flight instructors had to actually call their Congressman, Sensenbrenner, to get any action on the part of the FBI and all they did was arrest the guy. If the FBI had listened to her, they'd likely have discovered the so-called "20th hijacker" had downloaded all sorts of flight data for jumbo jets on to his PC.
