9/11 Hijackers Used Mace And Knives

In its report on what happened aboard the jets, the commission concluded that the hijackers made bomb threats on at least three of the four planes and shot pepper spray on at least two flights. Passengers calling from cell phones noted the use of box cutters on only one flight, the report said. The commission also said it was skeptical of an earlier report that a gun was aboard one plane.

In a separate report yesterday, the 10-member bipartisan commission revealed that nine of the 19 hijackers had been flagged by the Federal Aviation Administration's computer passenger screening system before boarding their flights. The system alerts airport security screeners to more thoroughly check passengers who buy one-way tickets or pay with cash. FAA procedures at the time called for the luggage of the "selectees" to be screened for explosives.

Two reports from the commission that Bush has tried to stop. By the way - this is a small coverup now exposed. Someone didn't want people to know that the anti-hijack systems to stop weapons and explosives then in place did not work.
