    these facilities were already hard-core protected, long before 9/11. i grew up next to one, the security described that stopped this guy existed, and was in use 40+ years ago

    post 9/11 actions didnt do shit to help anyone, anywhere… it was full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

      They did beef up the cabin doors to the flight crew, so they did one thing based on what actually happened on 9/11.

        Yes, thicker cabin doors on planes with trillions spent on security theater and invading places that didn’t cause 9/11, unlike the 15/19 hijackers from Saudi Arabia.

        In the UK they took the bins away for a bit, but then it got annoying so they brought them back, and added an announcement to say basically that if you see a terrorist being a terrorist you should probably tell someone, thank you.

        That’ll stop them.

      Yep security and structural integrity at a nuke plant was a thing decades before 9/11. I grew up about 30 miles away from Salem 1&2, and Hope Creek in Southern NJ. My dad was an electrician that worked there while they built them.
