Fifteen of the nineteen were citizens of Saudi Arabia, something which the Saudis themselves are still in fierce denial over. Go back to sleep Mike, Dubya's got ya covered.
YES, you are quite right, your numbers are right on the money! Bravo!
BUT, none, of terrorist were pilots with Saudi Airlines, as a matter of fact none of the terrorist were pilots with a major airline.
There are over 300,000 Saudi nationals living in Saudi Arabia, are they all potential terrorists?
What about the Saudi's living in the US or for that matter flying for US airlines, should we classify them as potential terrorist?
I am one for increased security, but the problem is not being solved, FINDING & STOPPING THE TERRORIST!
I would rather the US conduct thorough background checks on these Saudi crews, rather than letting them train outside of the US where the background may not be as thorough.
Keep your friends close, & your enemies closer
IF THE US IS GOING TO CLOSE THE BORDERS, THEN DO IT THE RIGHT WAY, KEEP ALL ARAB COUNTRIES AWAY FROM OUR AIRSPACE & IN TURN WE WILL NOT FLY THERE!
We are letting our emotions control our actions, rather than thinking with our head, the big head that is.
