One of the major problems that authorities had in the 9/11 disaster has repeated itself in the country's latest disaster, Hurricane Katrina: the inability of rescuers to communicate with each other.
It would seem a far simpler task to ensure that rescuers are on the same frequency - with compatible equipment - than to monitor all air travelers. Yet, it's evident that, at least in Louisiana and Mississippi, that hasn't been done.
Also, why did the government focus its terrorist monitoring efforts almost solely on airplanes when many more people travel via other mean of transportation?
It seems we spend a lot of time on something after the barn door has been destroyed.
