...niche carriers are also nimbler. When US Airways made the surprising move after 9/11 to shut down MetroJet, its low-cost subsidiary based at Baltimore/Washington International Airport, AirTran, with headquarters in Orlando, Fla., moved into that airport within weeks.

...Before 9/11, Afghanistan had served as a global hub and sanctuary for al-Qaeda, allowing it to run massive training camps to which tens of thousands of volunteer jihadis had flocked from all over the world.
