I agree w/ pan.
I mean, yeah, it sucked and all, but I don't think of it any differently than when it was bombed in 1993 or when the Oklahoma building was bombed.. just a higher death toll.
I don't feel any differently about my saftey or security, and I don't think anyone else should, either. If saftey/security was really a problem, there would've been more "terror attacks" since 3 years ago. That was a one in a million shot for the terrorists and I bet they'd never be able to do something on that scale again.
I think people shouldn't buy into the "terrorist boogeyman" junk that the media/politicians spew out. Any time 9/11 or terrorism is mentioned, it's just in one ear, out the other for me because it's really just a crutch for politicians that would otherwise have absolutely nothing going for them.
If it was really a problem, it would happen more frequently.. and trust me, it would, because they REALLY want to get us. Right now, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of being caught in a terror attack, so I'm not really concerned.
I think 9/11 made me change the way I look at this country.. in a bad way. All of a sudden everyone was patriotic, putting flags on their car being all supportive when just 24 hours prior they could've given a shit less. Just goes to show how easily impressionable the general public is I guess.
