>gov must now be able to stop all terror attacks

2019-08-07 02:30:35 UTC  

elsewise conspiracy

2019-08-07 02:30:41 UTC  

wut are you smoking dude

2019-08-07 02:30:46 UTC  

not all, but civilian aircraft? please

2019-08-07 02:30:59 UTC  

I mean, it would look pretty fucking bad for the government to start shooting surface to air missiles at a commercial plane full of passengers.

2019-08-07 02:31:05 UTC  

IN A CAVE?!

2019-08-07 02:31:15 UTC  

WITH A BUNCH OF PLANES?!

2019-08-07 02:31:19 UTC  

lol

2019-08-07 02:31:25 UTC  

Do you not think the gov considered that the Soviets might try a similar tactic?

2019-08-07 02:31:30 UTC  

TONY STARK!

2019-08-07 02:31:35 UTC  

CAVE!

2019-08-07 02:31:36 UTC  

apparently MA thinks the gov should have fighter planes circling major cities 24/7

2019-08-07 02:31:39 UTC  

Read the recomindations made to Kennedy

2019-08-07 02:31:47 UTC  

Same damn scenerio

2019-08-07 02:31:47 UTC  

Airport security was pretty lax pre 9/11.

2019-08-07 02:31:52 UTC  

oh man

2019-08-07 02:31:58 UTC  

the government predicted something might happen

2019-08-07 02:32:02 UTC  

and it did happen!

2019-08-07 02:32:06 UTC  

It's not too far of a stretch.

2019-08-07 02:32:06 UTC  

You mean, airport security was pretty awesome pre 9/11

2019-08-07 02:32:12 UTC  

it turns out predicting something doesnt mean you are immune from it

2019-08-07 02:32:22 UTC  

no, the gov had active measure to PREVENT things like this from happpening

2019-08-07 02:32:30 UTC  

there are some major flaws in pre 9/11 design

2019-08-07 02:32:43 UTC  

the only advantage to post 9/11 design really is the super secure cabins

2019-08-07 02:32:48 UTC  

Considered? Definitely. However it was clearly lower on the list because using commercial planes in that way was an insane concept before, you know, it was done.

2019-08-07 02:32:56 UTC  

like SAMS installed during the reagan admin hidden under the Pentagon lawn in cause of a Soviet strike

2019-08-07 02:33:03 UTC  

so

2019-08-07 02:33:12 UTC  

if they were installed under the pentagon

2019-08-07 02:33:18 UTC  

in case of enemy invasion

2019-08-07 02:33:20 UTC  

why would they fire

2019-08-07 02:33:23 UTC  

on a civilian plane

2019-08-07 02:33:28 UTC  

no one knew was hijacked

2019-08-07 02:33:37 UTC  

@Lucienne d'Anwyl My point exactly.

2019-08-07 02:33:38 UTC  

so they made plans to stop an balllistic ICBM bout couldnt stop a jet moving no faster than 500kph?

2019-08-07 02:33:51 UTC  

it's beyond laugable

2019-08-07 02:34:01 UTC  

i think you are giving omnipotence to the government here lol

2019-08-07 02:34:04 UTC  

they dont know everything

2019-08-07 02:34:11 UTC  

and you cant stop an enemy you dont know is an enemy

2019-08-07 02:34:13 UTC  

lol

2019-08-07 02:34:29 UTC  

Especially in a chaotic situation like that.
