However, even if the FAA for some reason had not notified the military, it doesn't matter.
Why?
Because the Secret Service -- which is in contact with the President and Vice President at all times -- was watching everything the FAA was watching on their radar:
- Counterterrorism “tsar” Richard Clarke says that, on 9/11, the Secret Service had “a system that allowed them to see what FAA’s radar was seeing.” (Page 7)
- Barbara Riggs, a future deputy director of the Secret Service who was in its Washington, DC headquarters on 9/11, says that the Secret Service was “monitoring radar” during the attacks (see also Star-Gazette 6/5/2006)
Moreover, the military was itself tracking the hijacked planes on radar.
