Even though you hear 9/11 this, 9/11 that every day - it's become a cliche, really - reading those accounts, imagining what it must have been like to be on those flights, remembering that day gave me chills.
It's become so easy, amidst all of the ridiculousness to forget what exactly is happening - or rather, is NOT happening. After reading those transcripts, reading all the 'security' measures that were in place that day, I'm reminded that nothing has actually changed, and it makes me angry.
It actually reassures me. It means that we not as threatened as we suspect. Or, at least that someone in government must think so because they've spent so much to make us feel secure rather than be more secure.
