The Bush-Clinton Administrations Had Enough Information Before 9/11 to Prevent Aircraft from Becoming Missiles Washington, DC: Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader today urged the 9/11 Commission to highlight the failure of the Bush and Clinton Administrations to take action to re-enforce the doors of aircraft cockpits noting: "This single safety step could have thwarted the events of September 11." On April 8, when Condolezza Rice testified before the Commission Investigating September 11, she acknowledged that hardening the cockpits could have made a difference: "That would have made a difference. We weren't going to harden cockpits in the three months that we had a threat spike." In fact, the US government had more than enough information prior to the information generated in the months prior to 9/11 to have taken action to re-enforce cockpit doors to thwart hijackers and terrorists. In addition to official intelligence scenarios about the potential for hijacked planes being used in terrorist attacks in the US against buildings, there have been 167 hijackings involving US airlines and 11 hijackings involving foreign airlines on US soil since 1970. "It has been evident for decades that we needed to harden cockpit doors and strengthen their latches. Some foreign airlines have installed just that safeguard. The failure of the federal government for years to address this despite clear evidence of the need is a tribute to how our government has deregulated mechanisms for national security. The resistance by airlines and aircraft manufacturers sent the soporific FAA into inaction, despite long time requests for action by safety groups and aviation security experts. If our government, sometime over the last 30 years, had been responsive, this single act would have made it much more difficult for the terrorism of 9/11 to have succeeded in turning aircrafts into missiles." said Ralph Nader. "The 9/11 Commission, before its final report, needs to research this situation and come to a judgment about the reasons for failing to protect airline passengers and persons on the ground." -- Why will we declare after Quincy labels the persistent career's injury?
