I need to re-state my question. It's not about the solution but about the reaction of the public. Let's go pre-1/11. What do you suppose the reaction of the world would have been if the military were to shoot down four fully loaded airliners with the explaination that they had information the planes were to be used as missiles? Keep in mind that, yesterday tapes were released with Atta and the pilot on another plane merely saying that they had hi-jacked the aircraft and everyone would be safe if they stayed in their seats and kept quiet.?

Personally, I don't think the public would have accepted the explaination and things would have become ugly. That could have done more to topple the Bush administration., than crashing the planes into targets.
