Security was to tight, we have given over responsibility to "Professionals".
if it was in fact "box knives" .22 shorts would have been fine.....
We had lots of professionals working on this one!
rikk
Btw, our prayers are with Daniel's friend on 107.

I'm a New Yorker, we don't roll over for anyone.
But we don't waste our time, either.
Who am I going to side with? The guys with years of experience and
millions of dollars in technology, that's who.
Don't paint me as a dove, I'm not. And yes, I own several guns.
But if you think some mailman with a .22 was going to prevent this
disaster, you're only fooling yourself. These guys were trained
professionals who were committed enough to die for their cause.
PS - I got email from two of my friends that worked in #7 WTC. They
got out OK, The building was destroyed.
No word about the guys that worked in #1 WTC, we expect the worst,
they should have been on the 107th floor when the plane hit.
Most likely the fire stairs were cut and they were trapped.
