Bill:

My guess is no one thought that any human being could do such a thing. Unfortunately, when you throw common humanity out the window, there are so many scenarios leading to disaster you simply go crazy trying to prepare for all of them.

As to the airlines -- we haven't had a hijacking in the US in something like 10 years. Lulled into a false sense of security. My guess on that is that terrorists worldwide knew there was something big coming down and that a hijacking prior to the big event would cause the whole plot to come to naught as security was tightened.
