I was waiting for more. Car bombings, things of that nature. For one, I was expecting Martial law or something. Which I now realize is unnecessary. But also, when further attacks didn’t immediately come it made 911 feel like less of an attack and more of a statement.
The sniper attacks and anthrax mailers did have me wondering though. Just felt like if they really wanted to come at us there were so many other vulnerabilities that could have been exploited. We weren’t really a full on surveillance state yet, the tech wasn’t quite there. Still plenty of opportunities for a hostile force to move unnoticed through the country tearing shit up.
Edit: lol, everyone is talking about being in class. Should probably note I was an adult that had done time in the armed forces and was already trying to work my way up the corporate ladder.
