FBI headquarters blocked a search of the 20th hijacker’s laptop until the morning of 9/11.

25 days earlier, they already had Zacarias Moussaoui in custody in Minnesota along with that laptop after flight school instructors flagged him for paying cash to train on a 747 simulator with zero aviation background.

Minneapolis agents wrote that he was likely planning to hijack aircraft, yet Washington refused a warrant and a criminal case, claiming there wasn’t enough evidence.

The search was approved only as the planes struck. Agent Harry Samit later called the refusal criminal negligence that cost a real chance to stop the attacks.

Moussaoui told the court America lost.
