“Are you guys ready? Let’s roll.”

From ChicagoBoyz (Hat tip: Instapundit):

The only part of the American national security establishment that successfully defended America on 9/11 was the portion of the reserve militia on board Flight 93, acting without orders, without hierarchy, without uniforms or weapons, by spontaneous organization and action.

Because of Todd Beamer and his compatriots on Flight 93, the enemy knows that brave American citizens would stop any similar hijack attempts.  In a few harrowing minutes, the passengers on Flight 93 did more for the future secuity of airline passengers than anything that the TSA, with its crotch-checks and naked-body scanners, has done in the years since.
