Lessons Learned

• Airports
• Only ticket holders allowed to go to boarding
  area
• Harder screening of people
• Use of Air Marshals
• Business class no longer separated by curtain

18
Conclusion

• Protocols in place on 9/11 for the FAA and NORAD
• the hijacked aircraft would be readily
  identifiable and would not attempt to disappear
• there would be time to address the problem
  through the appropriate FAA and NORAD chains of
  command and
• the hijacking would take the traditional form
  that is, it would not be a suicide hijacking
  designed to convert the aircraft into a guided
  missile.
• On the morning of 9/11, the existing protocol was
  unsuited in every respect for what happen.
• FAA and airlines had never dealt with multiple
  hijackings
