13. One thing people tend to overlook.
Did the hijackers actually have bombs on the planes? This would be a very embarassing fact for the airlines, and may be the real fact that we have large "sniffing" machines for all checked baggage.

Something fatal happened to Flight 93 (the one that crashed in PA) while it was still in flight. Here's a snip from the 9/11 timeline:

Residents outside Shanksville reported "discovering clothing, books, papers and what appeared to be human remains. Some residents said they collected bags-full of items to be turned over to investigators. Others reported what appeared to be crash debris floating in Indian Lake, nearly six miles from the immediate crash scene.

It may have been a Sidewinder from an F-16, as the site hypothesizes, but we know that the President didn't give the order in time, and that the passengers were attempting to rush the cockpit. Also, the last 2 minutes, or so, from the inflight recorder are "missing". (I think the official report was an electrical failure.)

I stand towards the belief that the leadership of this country has done everything in their power to make a new generation sceptical of the government's intentions. They gave me my own JFK-MLK-RFK assassinations all rolled into one to mull over for the rest of my life. They know I'll never find out, even if I risked my life to find out.
