what the fbi did not say is 400 people on board were bound for hawaii. you know you can't do that 15 minutes. the cop did the exercise in a sterile plane. there was no one on board his plane the whole time he did the exercise. they could improve that in an hour. it is not even disputed. 400 people ready to go to honolulu. they were supposed to believe in a 20 minute period, an hour and a half exercise. in no way they matched the composition of the residue found on the plane. nor does it matter where they placed it. the composition is wrong, there is no euphemism to disguise what they did. they sacrificed this guy's career to get it done and he is still humiliated to this day. he gets letters from the fda condemning him and had to live with this. that was all the cover they needed. from that point on from september 21st on, the government moved into a fully different mode, the mechanical failure mode. some of you remember that. i talked to a lot of twa people who remember getting punched in the stomach when they heard that, the fuel tank people have to be
