The attitude of the government agencies in respect of sharing information before the 9/11 attack is quite loose and careless. The attitude of the government agencies was separated from each other, and all the departments had some structural barriers among each other (Govinfo.library, 2022). National governmental agencies were more organized than local, state, or regional agencies. At that time these agencies were less organized about sharing information with other agencies. So, all the governmental agencies were not jointly interchanging the information to stop or combat terrorism (Govinfo.library, 2022).
