atheists and "conspiracy" theories

[Shell B]

Well, if I had a loved one that died or died myself, I think I'd want people to be asking questions. I mean if there are people in the government that corrupt, I'd want to think people were trying to uncover the truth and get those behind it. Not that we will be able to do anything here, but just saying.

Sure, but I wouldn't want them believing nonsense based on conjecture.

So you're basically saying that it's just impossible for the Air Force to really protect the United States from hijacked planes, and we should just accept that as a weakness and move on?

No, I am saying this is not the typical job of the USAF. If the flights were longer, the USAF likely would have been able to do something, but that something would have been to take out the planes.

So with all of the people working to protect the United States not one of them has thought of this scenario nor have they put safeguards in place to automatically alert the Air Force if 4 planes go off course at the same time? Either they are really stupid or we are. I'd think there would be something that would automatically alert the Air force if even one or two go off course. Nope, all that money spent, and we are just sitting ducks.

There are safeguards in place now, but still. You have to account for the simple logistics of it and the time frame in which it occurred. It wasn't as if there were several hours in which to communicate what was happening. Furthermore, people did not know what was happening.
