Apparently Bookman, you don't understand the concepts behind RADAR. RADAR doesn't work off of beaming a signal off of an object and locating it that way. RADAR works by transponder signals, these transponder signals were turned off and no one had a way of knowing where the hell these planes were going. I hope that answers your questions about the FAA or NORAD, or whatever you have about scrambling fighters to intercept these planes, simply, they couldn't locate them because the transponders on the planes were turned off, the case was not so in the accident that killed Payne Stewart.
As far as intelligence failures are concerned, you can thank the cuts in funding and HUMINT and other programs of the intelligence community for that. It's plain and simple, you restrict the number of sources you have to gain critical information and you won't gain that information until after the fact. I don't need an independent investigation to tell me that.
