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

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
