What William Deagle said was :

"(...)there’s two teams of fellows that can go on a high speed elevator to the roof. And these two teams have stinger missiles."

I´m assuming that this will be handheld missiles (?)

> "You wouldn't shoot anything until it was a definite threat in that situation, and the only way you know that is if it was too late and a threat aircraft was already pointed directly at you, accelerated and within only a few seconds of impact."

I believe it makes sense to assume that they plan for "every" eventuality.

And the threat being a hijacked passenger jet is just one eventuality.
You can think of other eventualities where the threat is not a passenger jet, but, for example, a cessna, or some such, that refuses to speak to the airport, and it is clear 10,15,20 minutes before it comes close to the Pentagon that this guy might be up to no good.
