First, the direct costs of replacing the WTC and the monetary value of the lives lost was by far the least important aspect of 9/11. You can't possibly fail to understand that.

Second, we have discussed the TSA ad nauseum. One thing is always the same. No one here has ever come up with an "inexpensive, effective, and unobtrusive" way to stop terrorists from bringing airplane-destroying devices on flights - that works at a rate of one passenger every 30 seconds, 700 million passengers per year in the US alone. Not one of you complainers has the answer. All you have is complaints.
