I don't believe that prior to 9/11, the tip off would be taken seriously. I am reminded of Dec 7, 1941, when the U.S. knew an attack was imminent, but never dreamed that it would be directed directly at their home port. Security gets complacent until it the consequences of such complacency are felt.

Knowing an attack is coming is not the same as getting all the details of names, places, and plans. I'd have more faith in that than in my ability to take down a group of men with a gun in a plane. Only being able to save one plane would be a problem. Even that one might be hard, since I think most passengers would go for the nut with a gun.

 

—Alorael, who agrees that it would be hard to be a convincing source of intelligence. On the other hand, he does think that even pre-9/11 US intelligence would at least put token effort into a suggested major plot with all the major investigative details already covered. The bigger question, of course, is whether Al Qaeda would then pull off a similar attack later given the lack of increased impetus for security. His guess is that solid evidence for a plane-based plot would be enough to kick airport security into shape.

What do they teach them in these schools?


I know. Nobody uses flip phones any more. The dinosaurs will have upgraded like the rest of us.

Everything you need to know to pass the coming test, in which you forget by two weeks or so.
I've just decided to switch our Friday schedule to Monday, which means that the test we take each Friday on what we learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we've learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest.
