The correlations between this episode and real-life are frightening: NORAD [of all people] really does have the ability to do a remote pilot takeover of a fully-loaded commercial jetliner in the event of a hijacking. Boeing included the system in all of its 757 and 767 aircraft as a standard feature, and currently uses similar technology for the new USAF fleet of UAVs [Unmanned Aerial Vehicles].
The Cold War was over and we did have a huge stockpile of weaponry that needed to either be used or sold. Once they get used, they get replaced through no-bid contracts given to the same groups that have controlled the arms market for decades. Contractors like Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, and the Carlyle Group are making hundreds of $billions on planes, tanks, guns, ammo, bombs, and other armaments; while the rest of the contracts go out to companies like Halliburton, whose services include: providing shelter, food, and uniforms for the troops; handling operations regarding oil drills, pumps and refineries; and building new buildings in place of what the arms market helped destroy.

| You really have to ask yourself, "Who benefited by the attacks on 9/11, again?" |
The "effect" aspect of 9/11 brought about an immediate "new type of war" on a phantom menace touted as terrorism, as well as the conflict in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, and, not to mention, the the expanded surveillance powers of the Patriot Act, and the constant encroachment on privacy through increased tracking & surveillance technology. The idea that all of this was to be started by a "small faction" of our own government flying a plane into the World Trade Center just has to send chills up anyone's spine.
