I mean, bracketing out the fact you've quoted what appears to be a foregone conclusion (that an expanding surveillance op was the ultimate aim, which of course, has nothing to back it up), why would crashing the planes be viewed as the best way to achieve such a thing? Why not just crash the plane into the White House? A lot less damage, just as much (if not more!) impact. The WTC are/were no way near as sacred to the US image than the White house itself, so it seems crashing something into the WTC was a bit superfluous.
The method they chose might seem a bit superfluous, but the most probably reason for that, in my opinion, is that the government (especially the CIA and NSA) had knowledge of the the attacks at least months before the day of the actual attack. Then, after knowing that, the government simply took the opportunity to create a false-flag by helping the identified terrorists to achieve their plan of attack on America instead of trying to stop them. See below.
Quote:AUGUST '01 BRIEF IS SAID TO WARN OF ATTACK PLANS
President Bush was told more than a month before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that supporters of Osama bin Laden planned an attack within the United States with explosives and wanted to hijack airplanes, a government official said Friday.
The warning came in a secret briefing that Mr. Bush received at his ranch in Crawford, Tex., on Aug. 6, 2001. A report by a joint Congressional committee last year alluded to a ''closely held intelligence report'' that month about the threat of an attack by Al Qaeda, and the official confirmed an account by The Associated Press on Friday saying that the report was in fact part of the president's briefing in Crawford.
The disclosure appears to contradict the White House's repeated assertions that the briefing the president received about the Qaeda threat was ''historical'' in nature and that the White House had little reason to suspect a Qaeda attack within American borders.
Members of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks have asked the White House to make the Aug. 6 briefing memorandum public. The A.P. account of it was attributed to ''several people who have seen the memo.'' The White House has said that nothing in it pointed specifically to the kind of attacks that actually took place a month later.

Quote:Author James Bamford looked into the performance of the NSA in his 2008 book, The Shadow Factory, and found that it had been closely monitoring the 9/11 hijackers as they moved freely around the United States and communicated with Osama bin Laden's operations center in Yemen. The NSA had even tapped bin Laden's satellite phone, starting in 1996.
"The NSA never alerted any other agency that the terrorists were in the United States and moving across the country towards Washington," Bamford told PBS

I know that none of what I posted here constitute an actual, hard evidence. There is no hard evidence that the government wasn't involved in it either. Rather, what I'm doing is providing some information about 9/11 and what I'm saying is that the overall picture that I see - after connecting all the dots - is that it was an inside job although I don't claim that I am very sure about it.
And there are many things that officials have intentionally suppressed or destroyed so that other people are not able investigate them, which I think tells us something.

Now it is your job to connect the dots.
