FBI docs show that some guy named Osama chartered the flights to get the bin Laden family out of the U.S. after 9/11

Remember just a few days after 9/11, when the reality was sinking in and the shock was beginning to wear off. The airports were closed and all planes were grounded, and people were trying to figure out how to get home, or how to contact their families. Remember how we got another shock when we heard the news that just a handful of planes were allowed to fly for the sole purpose of flying the bin Laden family out of the country?
According to FBI documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act and made public by Judicial Watch (a Washington-based group that investigates government corruption) those planes may have been chartered by none other than Osama bin Laden himself.
The document states: "ON 9/19/01, A 727 PLANE LEFT LAX, RYAN FLT #441 TO ORLANDO, FL W/ETA (estimated time of arrival) OF 4-5PM. THE PLANE WAS CHARTERED EITHER BY THE SAUDI ARABIAN ROYAL FAMILY OR OSAMA BIN LADEN...THE LA FBI SEARCHED THE PLANE [REDACTED] LUGGAGE, OF WHICH NOTHING UNUSUAL WAS FOUND." The plane was allowed to depart the United States after making four stops to pick up passengers, ultimately landing in Paris where all passengers disembarked on 9/20/01, according to the document.
Overall, the FBI's most recent document production includes details of the six flights between 9/14 and 9/24 that evacuated Saudi royals and bin Laden family members. The documents also contain brief interview summaries and occasional notes from intelligence analysts concerning the cursory screening performed prior to the departures. According to the FBI documents, incredibly not a single Saudi national nor any of the bin Laden family members possessed any information of investigative value.
"Eight days after the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, Osama bin Laden possibly charters a flight to whisk his family out of the country, and it's not worth more than a luggage search and a few brief interviews?" asked Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Clearly these documents prove the FBI conducted a slapdash investigation of these Saudi flights. We'll never know how many investigative leads were lost due to the FBI's lack of diligence." In case you're wondering how something like this could be allowed to happen:

It begs the question: was the FBI really that stupid or is this more fuel for the conspiracy fire?

Those are not mutually exclusive questions. It could be that the FBI is really that stupid, AND this is more fuel for the tinfoil helmet crowd.
Frankly, I don't see "conspiracy", I see blinding incompetence. Then again, that was obvious before dickhead even won the replican primary.
