This is untrue.

No, it's true. The Bin Ladens were flying all over the country while the flight ban was still in effect: In the two days immediately following the September 11 terrorist attacks on America, the U.S. government allowed bin Laden family members to fly within the country during a general ban on air travel.

It will never be determined who was on the flight that was allowed to leave the US on 9-13 while the flight ban was stil in effect but one can surmise without stretching that the Bin Ladens were on that flight: records obtained from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) seem to indicate that one flight carrying approximately 46 Saudi citizens may have left the U.S. from New York as early as September 13, before the general ban on air travel was lifted.
