ThinThread would have prevented 9/11 but the program was discontinued just three weeks before the attacks by the director of NSA General Michael V. Hayden.

In 2002 Science Applications International Corporation was chosen by the NSA to produce Trailblazer with a contract worth $280 million.

The project was overseen by NSA Deputy Director (((William B. Black, Jr))) a former employee of SAIC and would later be implicated in the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy.

Senior officer Thomas A. Drake complained to the Inspector General of both the Defense Department and the Senate Congressional intelligence committees about mismanagement of acquisitions and illegal domestic spying.

In September 2002, former NSA analysts including William Binney and J. Kirk Wiebe filed a report regarding cost increases, non-conformance and excessive labor rates for contracted personnel.

By 2003, the Inspector General had declared Trailblazer an expensive failure. It cost more than 1 billion dollars

The houses of Binney, and Wiebe were raided by armed FBI agents as part of the President's crackdown on whistleblowers and leakers.

Drake was indicted by the DOJ for allegedly obstructing justice, providing false information, and violating the Espionage Act. These charges were later dropped.

Maureen Baginski, the NSA’s head of Signals Intelligence is quoted as saying “We can milk this cow for 15 years. 9/11 is a gift to the NSA. We’re going to get all the money we need and then some."
