We are more informed
and alert about our
surroundings. My son-in-law is a TSA behavior analysis specialist.
We did not have this occupation 10 years ago.

Nothing has happened
since 9/11, so I guess
we are doing some-
thing right.
is America
safer?

The precautions
implemented were
long overdue. Do I feel
safer? Yes. I like what
we are doing to safe-
guard our country.
NO
MEDIA BAKERY
AMERICA HAS NOT SEEN a large-scale terrorist attack since
September 11, 2001. We have adopted many measures to step
up intelligence and security, including creating the Department
of Homeland Security, enhancing airport screenings and pass-
ing the Patriot Act. But critics warn that despite these steps
many areas still aren’t properly protected, making us just as
vulnerable as before the 9/11 attacks.

We must forever
remain vigilant in
our efforts to protect
this country. We
must never let
our guard down.

Our borders are not
truly secure and may
never be. Airport
security is not as good
as it should be. We
will [never] dissuade terrorists
completely from their aims.

Terrorists are con-
stantly coming up
with new ways to
attack us. It is difficult
for anyone to remain
one step ahead of an attack.
