The LA Times on 9/22 featured an excellent article on loopholes in airport/airline security which allowed takeover of the jetliners on 9/11.
The report also discusses several recent attempts to hijack planes using knives, cockpit incursions and the cockpit door issue, warnings of airline risks, NW Airlines screening system, El Al's approach, how airline hijacking threats have been perceived, and several other angles on this topic.
