Salon.com Technology | The war on terror: Miami

Salon.com Technology | The war on terror: Miami: "What weapons the terrorists had or didn't have is essentially irrelevant. Hijackings, to that point in history, were perpetrated mainly through bluff, and while occasionally deadly, they seldom resulted in more than a temporary inconvenience -- diversions to Cuba or cities in the Middle East. The moment American flight 11 collided with the north tower of the World Trade Center, everything changed; good luck to the next skyjacker stupid enough to attempt the same stunt with anything less than a flamethrower in his hand."

Awesome. Insightful commentary by Salon. This is a good read and while I don't agree with everything as presented, there is an awful lot here to think on.
