Should the World Trade Center be rebuilt?

Well, on the one hand, rebuilding it would be a symbol of defiance, showing the world that America goes on, that America won't be stopped. On the other, leaving it a memorial would be a subtler symbol, showing that not only do we remember our own, but that we don't forget who comes against us.

Personally, I feel we'll rebuild. Maybe not exactly the way it was (though probably), but we will build a World Trade Center, because it was a World Trade Center. DeutscheBank had offices there, as well as many other foreign financial institutions. They'll want things to run again like they did before.

What is in the future for all computerized airliners that can fly and even land themselves without a human pilot?

I feel this won't happen. You get this going, and you'll breed more sophisticated cyber-terrorism, that's if it gets past unions and other such things wanting to keep people employed as pilots. What I feel should happen is we gotta boost the strength of that door. I mean, stronger lock, stronger material for the door, and give the pilots Glock .9's or something. Some form of self-defense.

Instead of overpriced systems, maybe politicans will now listen to those low tech air defense systems for cities?

Well, don't you see, that won't happen. It's practical. It's affordable. It's not as politically disastrous.

Answeringly,
