That TNG episode where Picard undoes that bar fight was real dumb. You're captain of the Federation's flagship and you have a cool bar fight story! What more do you want? Barclay or Geordie probably could have used that do over.

If you need to prevent 9/11 through time travel, just contact eleven-year-old Vífill Atlason in Akranes, Iceland, who inexplicably has the secret direct-to-president phone number. Make sure you know basic-rear end wikipedia level knowledge about the president of iceland (birthday, place of birth, parents names and date entering office), and you're past security, impersonating a world leader, and talking to Bush.

Forget 9/11. I'd stop the Lewinsky scandal (by sucking him off instead and exposing him as a pedophile).

To prevent 9/11 you'd need to make sure the President got a specific warning beforehand. You'd have to make sure it was in writing, you'd have to mention something about hijacking planes, you'd have to make sure he had enough time to act on it--at least around 5 weeks--and you'd have to make sure to mention Bin Ladin by name.

The most realistic scenario is you manage to save the towers and Iraq get invaded anyway.

John Lee posted:I mean, possibly? Look up details of declassified CIA or FBI documents before you go, then be a weird kid who walks into some government building and starts talking about currently-classified details until you get a very worried and suspicious meeting with someone, then work your way up the increasingly-alarmed chain. I always thought no one would believe you, until you get something right and then point out that you're probably not the only one who went back. What would the Politburo do when they find out that the organization won't exist past '91 or so? Me? I'm going back and starting a comedy web page and semi-attached web forum so I can get the lowest reg date. Maybe get a girl friend this time...well, I'm sure you can guess how that went. See you in the next time line.

Beartaco posted:Does anyone have any good fiction recommendations about the morality of time travel? Like folks here have pointed out, going back to when you were 6 would technically involve the genocide of billions of people even if nobody realised it's happened. Anyway, I'd invest everything in Google as soon as possible in 2004 then do everything I could to use bitcoin to ensure Musk wouldn't be a factor post-2015.

If I made sure to look up the flight numbers of the hijacked planes and when they took off, I'm pretty sure I could make enough phone calls that those got grounded with the hijackers on board and then they would get arrested when it was discovered they snuck box cutters on the plane. And then the twin towers would fall down because the thermite bombs Bush JR personally put in the basements still go off.

Some dumb motherfuckers in this thread. I'd book a hotel with a great view of the twin towers and have a raging party with my buddies cheering on Hulk Hogan as he smashes the towers.

Like, I don't know, but I bet I could figure out the individual seats they were at least assigned and their names are public knowledge. I'm not gonna try, because it would end up with me going to jail , but I'm pretty sure I could make a single phone call with minimal research and get a flight grounded for at least a couple hours.

I’m pretty sure you were allowed to bring box cutters on flights before 2001. There were tons of things you could do that you can’t do now. You’d have a better chance calling in bomb threats, which is what people were worried about at the time.

A major reason 3/4 hijackings were so successful is that the passengers and crew assumed the hijackers would fly the plane to one airport or another and negotiate for something and therefore didn't put up survival resistance and also the flight deck doors were unlockable from the outside. The real move (which would make a good time travel comedy) would be to fake a 9/11 to change the mindset about hijackings. If you were a kid when 9/11 happened, you might be able to put in enough anonymous tips about the hijackers that gets their computers seized and uncovers the plan.
