Seriously, you act like they could have prevented it, but that is complete bullshit.

You can't dedicate an organization to hound a specific group of people and have someone ready to stop them at all times just because it is suspicious that they may do something somehow someday. Until 9/11 no one had ever used commercial airliners as a weapon, so there is no fucking way that the CIA could have known or taken steps to prevent that from happening.
actually the CIA couldn't have stop them but the actual pilot could have stopped them. I don't know if anyone remembers but there was a couple pilots pushing for some sort of distress/kill switch on airliners to be used in the event of a high jacking. the kill switch would shut down all electric equipment and only allowed the airplane to basically glide at that point.

if you google it you might still find the articles about it, but I'm saying if the pilots had that, they could have prevented it or at least kept the planes from being used as a weapon.

but that's just my input on your question to kavinsky christmas!!!
