What was attempted to be deployed was R-12 - intermediate-range nuclear ballistic missile.

The question is, would Norad really be designed to only track any incoming threat only until it reached the US border?
Assuming they had a plan to intercept the threat, did they not think there is a chance “it could slip by any counter measures and we better make sure we can still track it?”Comment

If NORAD people say they could not do it then that must be so because it's easier to verify given known technical capabilities and proper expert advice on the matter that you won't find on internet forum.Comment

On another note….US govt had indications of plans to hijack U.S. airliners and use them as weapons, as early as 1995...
Also: In April 2001, NORAD ran a war game in which the Pentagon was to become incapacitated; a NORAD planner proposed the simulated crash of a hijacked foreign commercial airliner into the Pentagon but the Joints Chiefs of Staff rejected that scenario as "too unrealistic" - WebCite query result
And.. "In the two years before the September 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties. One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center. In another exercise, jets performed a mock shootdown over the Atlantic Ocean of a jet supposedly laden with chemical poisons headed toward a target in the United States. In a third scenario, the target was the Pentagon — but that drill was not run after Defense officials said it was unrealistic” - USATODAY.com - NORAD had drills of jets as weapons
So why do these drills if they didn’t expect civilian airlines to become a threat....
I mean, even the writers of the Lone Gunmen thought of this....Comment

Personally I'd be worried more about military that easily shoots down such aircraft than other way around.Comment
