| #7 The fly in the ointment? It is prosecution after the fact, not prevention of the attack. The law enforcement approach. We may not be so lucky the next time. |

| #3 Not sure if the pilot was aware, but word I heard this morning, they were following him, even to letting him on the plane, in hopes he would make that one more cell phone call -- to trace it, of course. |

| #2 who was minutes away from fleeing the U.S. when his Dubai-bound flight was returned to its gate at New York's Kennedy Airport The airplane could have been ordered back so long as it was within the borders of the United States. And even beyond: had the pilot been radioed that he had a terrorist on board -- without further definition -- would he not have quietly returned? Or not so quietly -- the pantybomber was tied up and dumped in a corner of the plane under guard until the marshals took him away. |
