The ambulance chasers are back up to their old tricks. I heard on the radio today that one of the WTC widows has filed suit against United Air Lines for inadequate security.

I'll actually look forward to this trial, because it may be an opportunity to make the point that what happened on September 11 was not, in fact, a failure in security, but was rather a failure in government policy (a failure that continues today, in the blind insistence on a disarmament philosophy, instead of a defense philosophy). If I were United's lawyers, that's exactly the tack I would take, but they may not be allowed to for PR reasons.

My prediction:

At some point an ATLA member will consider a lawsuit against the Heroes of United Flight 93 for their contribution to the deaths of their fellow passengers.

Just wait.

Excuse me, the failure was to predict the day when 19 lunatics would steal airliners laden with fuel and people and fly them into famous landmarks. What sensible person outside the inner circles of Osama & Co. could have predicted such a thing?
