Here is a weird idea: Go back and make yourself obscenely rich before 9/11, track down 119 members of the same gang in the Portland Maine area, and mail them paperwork for all-expense-paid trips to L.A.
That was the number of coach seats.
Since three terrorists were in business class, I am sorry non-terrorist or gang-affiliated first- and business-class passengers, your loss is acceptable.
I have the crazy idea that if 5 terrorists try to hijack a plane 119 gang members would stop them.
Would they save themselves, the crew, and the innocent bystanders, as well as Tower 1, its occupants, and rescuers?
I think it is worth a chance.
However, there is all kinds of information on Wikipedia:

Mohamed Atta, the ringleader of the attacks, and a fellow hijacker, Abdulaziz al-Omari, arrived at Portland International Jetport (Portland, Maine) at 05:41 Eastern Daylight Time on September 11, 2001. At the Portland ticket counter, Atta asked ticket agent Mike Tuohey for his boarding pass for Flight 11.

Find the biggest and toughest security guards you can and pay them to bump into Atta and Abdularziz in front of security and try to get them to lose their temper.
Maybe it would get them arrested, maybe it would get your guards arrested.
Maybe it would delay the inevitable, but if Atta and Abdulaziz get arrested hopefully they will find information like they were overstaying their visas or something else warranting keeping them in custody.
