Our borders are a joke, and shipping containers come in with only a small percentage ever being checked. I don't feel safe, I fell like we have been lucky so far.

Shake my head at most of the responses you've received. How can they say the United States hasn't felt safer than before? Has the United States ever been attacked after 9/11? Can other country beat our military?
According to my history, " America has never lost a war." So why do our people feel so unsafe? Why do we have such low faith within our own country? I feel 100% safer to be in the United States than to be in other countries.
History: America dominated England twice.
America joined world war 1 and dominated it.
After having been hit badly by Japan, America annihilated them and finished up world war 2.
America couldn't have prevented 9/11 because we weren't perfect, and we are still not perfect... But of course we're the most powerful country today. No one wants to fight us as far as I am concerned. And Iraq is just a lame country that is seeking for attention. Sure we lost lots of lives, but there are times where we must give up our lives for victory.
To answer your question, I feel much safer than before.

not even close. I feel no safer today than prior to 9/11...as a matter of fact less so, since 99% of our military forces are deployed in the middle of a muslim civil war with targets on their backs.
We have done little to secure our borders and ports. Passports are still quite a joke, so are state issued drivers licenses, social security cards and birth certificates...identity theft is the largest growing crime in the world, which further compromises us all.

Things are better than they were before 9/11, but there's still a long way to go, ie: securing the borders, inspecting cargo from foreign countries. It's a huge undertaking.

Well, we haven't been attacked on our soil again since 9/11. I feel very safe here at home (USA), but I wouldn't feel too safe in certain parts of Iraq, or other areas of the Middle East right now.

I feel a little safer, but not totally. I think theyre still missing things on all the flights.*

No: they don't even check most of the freight that comes in on our ports. Makes you wonder what they actually spend the money for our homeland security on.

Is this a joke? Are you seriously asking that? No, I don't think they've really made anything safer at all.

No. What is the point of living in the "Land of the Free" when they take away your freedoms?

no country is secure because even in our own home we could still lose our lives
