I agree that it is way too early to look for perpetrators. I'm a former aircraft avionics technician for a large multiengine turboprop. This operation required no more sophistication than the Internet (for plane schedules) and cell phones (to send last minute coded messages), IMO. A group of 12-15 people could have coordinated this. The possession of one flight manual and some time behind the stick on some aircraft type would be helpful, but hardly unattainable to anyone who wasn't backed by a government. Aircraft have an On/Off switch for the transponder (and a breaker). Not too hard to disable.

That's a very interesting post. I somehow had missed this very significant fact: <<. Each of the aircrafts' transponders were disabled, which requires knowledge of secret codes that are different for each aircraft.>>

Does it matter what the experts say and what the terrorist factions have in response to this Tradgedy, which was premeditated mass Murder...If anyone knew of this premeditated act, and did not come forward, or make an attempt to foil it, does that not make them guilty by association?? Bin Laden publicly praised those who carrried this inhumane act out..all evidence has pointed to his network, and the top officials are quite certain and know much more than we are allowed to be informed of. You can believe he knew all about it, and more that may continue to materialize.. Remember this guy lives underground like the rat he is, along with his associates for good reason, uncivilized and ungodly regime. IMHO TK
