IMO, the puzzle about why the planes failed to scramble has largely been solved, at least as far as the big picture is concerned. The majority of the planes that would normally have been available to protect that area of the country had been sent off on wild goose chase training missions. The few that were left were led to believe the attacks were simulations. We know who was responsible for the diversions: Rumsfeld and Cheney. A specific stand down order probably wasn't necessary as for all practical purposes the system had been completely disabled.
