If the pilot trainer that was offered $10,000 cash to teach one of the hi-jackers to fly (taking off and landing instruction "not needed"), had notified authorities of suspicious behavior, it's possible this entire attack could have been stopped. Looking back, the CIA and FBI have found dozens of instances of suspiscious activities by this group of terrorists. One of them was actually already on a list of "persons to be watched" If these instances had been given the proper and prudent amount of attention, things probably would have turned out different. There has been a lack in the quality and quantity of intelligence gathering over the past few years, however, we the American public have to bear some of the fault for not having "our" guard up as well.
