The letter stated the report ignored significant issues raised with it by intelligence personnel and so missed "serious problems and shortcomings," which casts doubt on the validity of its recommendations.
One of the speakers at the news conference was Bogdan Dzakovic, a Federal Aviation Administration security official, who complained before Sept. 11 about lax security at airports and the danger of hijackers being able to smuggle weapons on jetliners.Dzakovic told the Sept. 11 commission last year that he had repeatedly warned FAA management that security weaknesses uncovered by investigators who would try to defeat airport security and usually succeeded were going unaddressed.
"I react with shock and awe every time I hear people with expertise say that Sept. 11 was unpredictable," he told the commission on May 22.
