Has 9/11 changed the way you feel about . . . ?

Question

Traveling to Washington or New York . . .or flying in airplanes or mass transit , , , ect?

How has 9/11 changed you?

Answer 1

yes and no, it makes me think twice before i leave house , it had made me say I love you more to my family and friends,..

Answer 2

I never had a fear of flying before 9/11. I don't think flying on an airplane is safe even with all the T.S.A. lame efforts. I have not heard any reports that all cockpit doors are secured against intruders. I refuse to go to 'Muslim sensitivity' training courses and think until a Muslim demonstrates he's completely non-violent they should all be banned from flying in the U.S.

Answer 3

No it hasn't because even with the terrorist threat, traveling by plane is still statistically the safest mode of transport. One takes a far greater risk driving to the airport!!

Furthermore, I feel the terrorists are winning if ordinary people change the way they live their lives. Even after the 7/7 attacks in London I still travel on the tube. Potential terrorist attacks do not cross my mind.

Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Answer 5

we recently went to washington... as for new york... no desire even bf 9/11... i would get lost there... it's huge...

it made me more aware of how quickly our lives can change and more aware of all the hate in the world for absolutely ridiculous reasons... all over religion...

i will never forget... it's very disturbing...

Answer 6

It certainly made me realize that the US wasn't as Ft. Knox like as we thought. Also made me see that maybe, just maybe, our government is trying to scare us into letting them do what they want. Read what Terry Nichols said about the OKC bombing? Ever seen the video 911 Witness: Hoboken? If not, find out and you'll know what I mean.

Answer 7

No, I'm not scared of travelling on planes at all, because i am 100% sure that the hijackings never happened the way we were told by the government. http://www.rense.com/general68/dutch.htm
