¶ … Safe After 911? Life is different after 9/11. We are not as safe as we thought we were before 9/11. The terrorists who attacked the United States not only killed Americans. To some extent, they killed the American way of life. This isn't to say the life was perfect in America before the terrorists struck. It wasn't. The fear we felt before the attacks was a personal fear, though. It was the everyday fears that everyone has to some degree. This has been altered considerably. We worry now about terrorists attacking our country in ways that we have learned about, such as the plane attacks or chemical strikes. We also worry about the ways we can be threatened and not have any idea of what type of attack is planned, or where it might occur.

There are so many repercussions from the attacks on 9/11. The economy has suffered and the government is spending millions of dollars trying to keep us all safe. The burden of safety is making the airlines go bankrupt and we're not even sure that we're really safe, even with all of the safety...

We would be in a terrible predicament if we had even one of these parts of America's way of communicating or providing services was interrupted for any length of time or destroyed. The water system could be contaminated with biological contaminants. The ways in which we can be threatened seem to be limitless and the public is informed about only part of the efforts made to make us safe. We have been informed of the airport…
