Think of all the technology that has been developed and not applied since then. Also, I don't seem to recall ever hearing that RICHARD REID'S FATHER CALLED A US EMBASSY TO TELL THEM HIS SON MIGHT TRY TO DO SOMETHING STUPID.

The page-and-a-half section of the President's Daily Brief from 6 August 2001, headlined "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US," had generated the most contentious questioning in last week's testimony by national security adviser Condoleezza Rice before the commission investigating the September 11th attacks. Dr. Rice continued to insist that the Brief did not amount to a real warning, while several commissioners seemed to think otherwise. These contrasting interpretations dominated the weekend's news. For example, President Bush commented on Sunday that the "PDB said nothing about an attack on America. It talked about intentions, about somebody who hated America - well, we knew that. $B!D(B The question was, who was going to attack us, when and where, and with what." (Note A1) Meanwhile, the Sunday news analysis in The New York Times began with the following summary: "In a single 17-sentence document, the intelligence briefing delivered to President Bush in August 2001 spells out the who, hints at the what and points towards the where of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington that followed 36 days later." (Note A2)

Your news source has explained this many times since 2001. Right?

Yet, he wasn't added to any terrorist lists. Gee, using computer technology would have stop this guy. Technology is not able to stop terrorists, but, using will quite often thwart terrorists and greatly slow the rate at which they can do attacks. But that's only if technology is employed properly, which the TSA and other gov't agencies haven't been doing. Jeff
