Point taken, a very solid point. And they dealt with Osama Bin Laden long before he attacked America. Maybe if decades of communism and building up their armies hadn't drained the nations financial resources, they would have paid more attention to things like airport security. Or not. It shouldn't take much forethought to conclude that stricter care has to be taken regarding all persons who board an airplane. Heck, even if not for the 4 hijacked flights over America, the PLO showed the world back in the seventies how easy it was for terrorists to get aboard airliners if proper care was not taken. And after the recent bombings in Chechnya and the incident in the theatre last year when the audience was held hostage by Chechnyan rebels, Moscow should have been more careful. Other than copying American space shuttle designs, and the B-52 bomber design from WWII, and stealing technology through the years, Moscow really hasn't learned much from the West at all.
