re; I never said they occured prior to detection. If I gave that impression I'm sorry.

No problemo. Going back to the origin of the discussion, I chimed in with my personal experience because someone (I think you) blamed NORAD for the loss of life. My only assertion was that such blame was misplaced because detection and protection of domestic airspace was not NORAD's directive prior to 9/11. The original discussion centered on detection, not post-detection actions.

Not a big deal, as discussions on these boards can take many twists and turns as they play out. It's just the nature of the medium.
