49. Assuming I was elected in 2000?

Knowing what I know now? The solution is obvious; order Mohammad Atta et al. arrested, detained, tried, and imprisoned.

If I only was allowed to know "There will be a terror attack involving airplanes and the WTC in September," I would order air marshals on every flight possible originating on the east coast during that month, warn the airlines, and divert all FBI resources to tracking down the hijackers.

Knowing nothing we didn't know then? Probably very little. Bureaucratic inertia is enormous.
