A thorough investigation of flight schools might have led to one in Florida where an instructor recalled the odd behavior of 9/11 pilots Mohammed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi or to a California outfit that expelled al-Hazmi and al-Midhar for lack of flight skills and poor English.

Atta, who conceived the hijacking-attack scheme while...
...Sept. 11 hijackers entered the U.S. on a student visa, yet never showed up at school.
