This story is the story of how stupid our law enforcemnet people are and will continue to be.. the story of 9/11 is a story of the failure of our intelligence and law enforcement apparatus. The myth is that they failed because they didn't have enough power. The sorry and scary fact is that they failed because the system is riddled with stupidity and incompetence. The stupidity is BOTH structural and individual. Giving these stupid people within a stupid system more power doesn't solve problems, it causes more problems.

Housekeeping must have missed it.  It wasn’t a sock, a toothbrush, or a handful of change. It was something rather different: an aviation transceiver, used to communicate with planes in flight.</p> <P>The hotel was evacuated on September 11. After the radio turned up, Higazy was detained by the FBI. Under lengthy interrogation, he confessed that the radio was his.</p> <P>In January 2002, after Higazy had spent over a month in custody, an airline pilot stopped by the hotel to claim his belongings. When he asked where his transceiver was, someone knew they’d made a big mistake.</p> <P></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B6DC62B0-43A7-4964-87B9-E6003EFF44FD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
