Mr. Benshoof,
A quick survey of your JAQs...
Re: "steel into dust"…
This is "Bermuda triangle", "pictures of Sasquatch" level of idiocy. No steel got turned into dust. It was all carted away in trucks, weighed & measured. There is no "missing steel". If it had been turned into dust, they would have used brooms & vacuum cleaners to clean up ground zero, and all of those grappling cranes & oxyacetylene cutting torches would have been useless.

Re: Mr. Olson's changing testimony about whether his soon-to-be-dead (a fact that both of them tragically recognized at the time) wife's phone calls ...
I received one of those phone calls once. It was my sister, whose voice I did not recognize, struggling to tell me that our father had died suddenly. You know, for the life of me, I haven't the foggiest notion of whether she called me on her cell phone or on a land line. Somehow, in the context of The Event of that day, it never once occurred to me to ask her which phone she was using.
Call me "uncurious", but it just didn't seem to be the significant portion of her message on that awful day.
Let me ask you something. I presume that you get phone calls daily for business. I get about 100/day myself. How many times do you ask the person calling whether they are calling on a cell phone or on a land line? What possible significance (other than "I might lose you as I go into this tunnel") does the transmission mode have to the messages delivered?
Next, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate some trivial amount of skepticism, would you please explain what you think is the significance of Mr. Olson having "changed his story" on the source of the phone calls? Would some bureaucrat staying with one story have changed the fact that planes were hijacked? Would him keeping his story constant, weeks, months & years after the fact, have eliminated pictures of the hijackers boarding the planes on 9/11/01?
Please explain what part of the events of 9/11 would change based upon Mr. Olson being consistent, or changing his story daily.

Re: "Books and desks within a few feet of AA77 penetrating the Pentagon."
Again, you demonstrate zero skepticism. Along with zero ability to interpret trivially obvious photographs.
The photo that you posted of those books and desks were not "within a few feet of where AA77 penetrated the Pentagon" (at ~500 mph). Those items were "within a few feet of where the building fractured along an internal wall and fell away from the items at about 10 mph".
There was no part of the airplane that was a 5 story tall straight line, as the exposed edge of the remaining portion of the building clearly shows. That desk & (no, it's not a stool) lectern were many offices away from the entry point of the airplane. The desk was pushed up against the wall, as most desks are. The lectern was in a corner, between the bookshelf & the wall. The desk, lectern & thick, heavy book (perhaps a bible or heavy textbook) on the lectern were perhaps shaken by the impact of the airplane, but fortunately desks & lecterns are designed to not fall over, or to drop the books that are placed upon them. And the wall, that is now missing, was standing for about an hour after the impact & would have prevented the lectern from falling over.
Further there are hundreds of photos of buildings that have collapsed for a variety of reasons, and there are always items left purchased precariously on the remaining edge. I've seen bathtubs, chairs, tables, etc. etc. etc. within inches of the edge.
There are ALWAYS things standing on the very edge of a blast zone, impact crater, partial building collapse. ALWAYS. Those items left standing & undamaged are precisely what DEFINES the edges of the blast zone, crater or partial collapse.
Allow me to provide an example:
Ronan Point collapse:
But, wait. What is that on the very edge of the building. Sitting there perfectly unscathed, while hundreds of tons of falling buildings passed right nearby?
Let's look closer ...
What?!!
How could a (hutch? old TV entertainment center?) and a (waste basket?) POSSIBLY survive "within feet (inches, really) of that building collapse? Right on the edge of the floor.!!"
"OMG. Inside job!"
Your "what about this" is … meaningless. Vapid.
Or, perhaps, you'd like to infuse the standing desk, lectern, textbook, hutch & waste basket with meaning. Please, please tell me what those items still standing at those locations tell you is false about the "official story of 9/11". Or the official story of the collapse of the Ronan Point apartment complex.
Please.
I can't wait.
Can't wait to hear your fascinating interpretation of "skepticism".
