My point was that it is nobody's fault. The blame has been pretty well established, and discussion of the cause would fall foul of the religious/political prohibition here.
Most people and probably most lawyers, would regard these acts as unforeseen atrocities and consider any attempt to profit from them as utterly reprehensible (and that's putting it mildly).
The airline is simply a target of opportunity given the difficulty of suing the FAA, CIA, FBI, INS, NSA etc. etc., against whom there might conceivably be a (flimsy) case.
My faith in human nature is undiminshed by the acts of a few unprincipled individuals. And it does not follow that disdain for some of the legal profession indicates disdain for all of it. This kind of opportunist greed certainly does not help, however.
