John,

RE: <Heightened security was warranted. Shutting down the air traffic system and other US institutions was not warranted.>

If there had been more terrorists involved, and some of them had been on a delayed flight, shutting down the air traffic system would have stopped them. Ever had a delayed flight?

Shutting down the air traffic system was also a very good way to ease fears that any of the random airliners aloft would be turned into another sky-jacked bomb.

That is ONE of the things that went right with this whole disaster. I can't believe you don't see that.
