If you are doing something illegal, it is always a good idea to look as innocent as possible. Do not attract unwarrented attention prior to the point of no return.
Don't get stopped at an unexpected checkpoint. There is always the possibility that security measures to prevent the discovery of your plans may have been compromised. These were not "ignorant camelk jockeys. They were mostly highly-educated but disaffected middle-class people with a serious grudge against us based on our trade policies and our affronts to their culture, as they saw it. Their shiek was a civil engineer, you know. Ahmed Ressam got busted because he appeared too nervous at a border crossing point and a Border Patrol officer started looking for stuff. Having a one-way ticket to some place where you have no residence looks a little suspicious, if someone is looking for a bunch of men of a certain ethnicity who don't seem to have any reason to be where they are. Just look at all the negative attention they had already drawn to themselves by not measuring up fully to the expectations of their flight instructors. Is a kamikaze pilot going to worry about spendinmg too much money on an item he will not likely use? Where is the real oddity here? |

I'm not sure what CR means so forgive me if I'm unable to address it in this post.
In my humble opinion, I think further investigation into the handling of the event - before and after - as well as the construction of the WTC and possible code violations, is still warranted. At this point the investigators would have to take pains and go out of their way to show that they're not testing Cheney's blood for reptilian DNA, but that shouldn't stop them if their findings will help produce safer buildings and more efficient counterterrorism procedures. That said, I can't say for sure that this isn't already taking place. I think the most recent Hardfire guest is working for safer buildings. I know NIST is. |
