Dan, I found your post extremely distasteful. Your comments were tantamount to saying these airlines deserved this tragedy. I do not believe that any airline would ever have cut back security in order to make profits if they felt that lives would be risked. These terrorists would have been able to carry this out on any airline in the current environment in which they operated. Security was lax in all of the airline systems. I spoke with a friend in the FAA yest. and he said if he wanted to, he would have been able to get a handgun into any plane. These two airlines were targeted because that's where the terrorists decided to do their homework. They studied the flight paths, studied the security checks, knew the layout of the inside of the planes. This was a carefully planned event. If someone wants something badly enough, they will succeed. Just as I believe we will find the remaining people, or at least many, who took part in this. Your statement that these airlines "deserve" a fall in their stock value because of their "shortsightedness" is despicable. NO ONE DESERVED THIS OR ANY HARM AS A RESULT OF THIS TERROR. For you to think you will punish them is also disgusting to me. Rethink your logic. Devin
