For one thing, people known to the CIA to have al Qaeda connections were on the passenger manifests of the planes that crashed. That's how the US government knew so quickly that it was an al Qaeda attack. A little bit of information sharing (the CIA never told the FBI of the names) and basic checking would have set off security alarms. At that point federal marshals could have stepped up security for the flights or had marshals on the planes. It would have been a lot simpler procedure than constructing a missle defense system.
