The economic affects to our nation went into every single household, cost trillions, and still to this day continue to rumble around the economic landscape causing havoc. Yes, this was the biggest affect of the 9/11 attacks. There are not enough planes on the planet to have that much direct affect on as many people as the economy does.
The billions wasted by our government since 9/11 would have had far greater impact if put toward health care for the uninsured. Do you know that 20,000 people each year die because they can't afford to go to a doctor?

20,000 people die while the TSA gets billions handed to it.
