I was flying again within a couple weeks of 9/11. I noticed it only took another month or two before people started whining about long lines and security screening hassles. Just think how that would have gone over pre 9/11.

I read the report you linked and very honestly would not have acted on it either. Would enacting martial law in airports have changed the outcome of 9/11? Perhaps, there are too many tangets to consider. Would it stop Terrorism. No.

Frankly, there are stacks of warnings floating around D.C. - most of which never make it to the top. We rely on the people we elect to make the best decisions they can given the circumstances and timing. Personally I think GW did a fine job on the days following 9/11 and will always be appreciative for his leadership through those difficult times. People trying to pin 9/11 on GW is absurd.
