With Kryptos, Sanborn has made his strongest statement about what we don't see and can't know. "He designed a piece that would resonate with this workforce in particular," says Toni Hiley, who curates the employees-only CIA museum. Sanborn's ambitious work includes the 9-foot 11-inch-high main sculpture—an S-shaped wave of copper with cut-out letters, anchored by an 11-foot column of petrified wood—and huge pieces of granite abutting a low fountain.
He got the commission in 1988, when the CIA was constructing a new building behind its original headquarters. The agency wanted an outdoor installation for the area between the two buildings, so a solicitation went out for a piece of public art that the general public would never see.

I enjoy making an occasional leap of faith and have nothing more than utter appreciation to consider fantastic, sometimes absurd theories. But I am afraid this concept would require me being shot out of a cannon. And I am not the right caliber.
Long before Sept. 11th, you would call 911 for an emergency. And oh, by the way, I happen to drive a 911. (Porsche) They were intoduced in the late 1960's.

Sorry, I was unaware you weren't allowed to offer opposing views or that an OP could dictate appropriate responses.
I thought that's what the mods do.
Yesterday, my digital clock read 9:11.............twice.
