Marvin P. Bush, the president’s younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. The company, Burns noted, was backed by KuwAm, a Kuwaiti-American investment firm on whose board Marvin Burns also served. [Utne]

According to its present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center "up to the day the buildings fell down."
...
The World Trade Center was destroyed just days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the landmark 110-story towers, security personnel said yesterday [September 11]. Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday [September 6], bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed. [NY NewsDay]

On the weekend of 9/8, 9/9 there was a 'power down' condition in WTC tower 2, the south tower. This power down condition meant there was no electrical supply for approx 36 hrs from floor 50 up... "Of course without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors and many, many 'engineers' coming in and out of the tower." [WingTV]

RE: "I think we can both agree that setting up a building for demolition is NOT a casual task."

I think it would be fair to say it's outside the expertise of a layman and that it would take a great deal of planning. From what I've been able to find on the topic, though, I don't get the impression that actually placing the charges is overly complex if remote detonators are used. And I doubt that a guy in coveralls with a couple of boxes on a hand truck would raise any eyebrows in the average office building. With enough time and money, just about anything is possible.

RE: "And that actually doing it would involve at least the complicity of insiders.

Insiders certainly had the means, motive and opportunity, but I don't think that completely rules out the possibility of outside agencies by itself. IMO, what rules out outside agencies is that insiders has an exclusive license on the means, motive and opportunity to execute the following cover up. The job of placing explosives in buildings with wide open public access is hopelessly simple compared to destroying tens of millions of pounds of evidence, manipulating public opinion, and derailing some investigations while directing the course of others.

It may seem like splitting rabbits, but I still think Griffins reasoning is fuzzy. Anyone with enough money, and an appropriate level of insanity, could blow up a building if they really wanted to, but, it would be virtually impossible for anyone except those at the highest levels of government to keep the fact it was blown up a secret for over 4 years.
