The administration did take the UBL hijacking threat seriously.

They just didn't care about the victims outside their own little group. Same as it ever was.

I didn't know the Air Force was "on" Payne Stewart's private jet. There were four passenger jets deliberately steered off course and allowed to continue to their targets. You are right. It makes no sense.

There is nothing to satisfy anyone's curiosity on why the Air Force hesitated to scramble F-16s to meet any of the hijacked planes.

That information has been "classified for National Security"

I.e., the crooks are in charge, again.

Airforce one was NEVER in any danger and they invented the entire threat as a scenario for the Rabbit hole in Nebraska move.....and the threat was then reinvented when the fallout of that bonehead move of running for cover instead of positioning the head of the government as a person who can't be intimidated by terror.....
well he WAS Intimidated
