Brumar...WHERE in my post did I say the threats that those guys posed were "meaningless"?

I said it was good that they were stopped before they did something, but my beef was with how they were played up like they were just one step away from blowing up New York.

If the FBI had been doing even a reasonable job, those 9/11 guys would never have gotten on to planes in the first place. They weren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. The one guy took flying lessons and said he didn't care to learn to take off or land, only fly the plane. Several of them were already on watch lists. The President was given an intelligence analysis that said "bin Laden may use commercial aircraft to attack". Sheeessh, I'm NOW supposed to feel secure that they catch a few ne'er do wells that were infiltrated and GOADED by informants???

I'm ALL for security measures, but I want someone with "integrity" and NO political affiliations to oversee anything that infringes on my rights as an American.
