I think that it is time that U.S. starts to crack down on security. It has gotten to lax. Our last cruise, when we left the ship with customs forms in hand, a girl from the HAL staff, just told us to drop the form in a basket as we left the ship. No one from customs was around. Then we checked our large bags and went on a tour of the Everglades, left Ft. Lauderdale about 3:30 pm and when we arrived in Cincinnati, we were called to baggage claim and they said our bags came on a different flight and had been in Cincinnati for hours. So much for saying that if you are not on the flight your bags will be taken off. This kind of thing has worried me for some time. They are much more careful when we have flown thru Zurick and other Europe airports. People fuss about a few minutes of delay, but I am all for it.

I quite agree. I've lost count of the number of times my flight has been delayed because someone has not appeared on the flight and they have taken the luggage off. However better that than what happened on Tuesday.

The two Terrorist Pilots in the two Planes in the Towers came from Hamburg.

They have Passports from the Arab Emirates and are registered on Technical University to study Electrician Knowledge.

In February 2001 they cancel their Appartement and went to USA, where they learn to be an Pilot (under the Eyes of the FBI).

In the Time in Germany, they are legal and made never any Problem...

Just to add, how long has it been since Tuesday????? Just saw on T.V. some of the lines at N.Y. airport and some of the people were raising a fuss because of the time it was taking to get thru the ticket counter. Maybe they would have liked to be on one of those planes on Tuesday. I just can't believe some people. I don't care how long I have to wait, I just want my plane to be safe.
