On the recordJuly 30, 2003
According to intelligence reports made public yesterday, terrorists may be plotting suicide missions by hijacking commercial airliners, most likely in the United States, but clearly it could be anywhere in the world. Such a plot is detailed in a memo from our own Transportation Security Administration. I want to quote from it: The plan may involve the use of five-man teams, each of which would attempt to seize control of a commercial aircraft either shortly after takeoff or shortly before landing at a chosen airport. This type of operation would preclude the need for flight-trained hijackers.
