Unchanged. I can walk across the street and get hit by a bus, I could have some deranged lunatic come into my house and kill me. I don’t worry about these things why would I worry about terrorists or supposed terrorist actions. It was a tragic thing that happened on 9-11 but there have been more tragic things that have happened in this country and we have done worse to other countries ourselves. I feel like the most of the security measures that have been put in place have actually taken some freedom away from us and if being “safe” means my rights as a citizen of the United States citizen will be compromised I say we have lost the War on Terrorism. Paranoia is our worst enemy! |

Since 9/1//01 I feel less safe as an American.
The reason I feel LESS safe is because the American government has betrayed the people and ideals of America and stolen the freedom's of the people in their so called effort to "protect freedom and democracy".
The government now has legislated broad powers to itself that allow it to do whatever it wants, for any reason imaginable or no reason, to anyone, without the barest attempt to explain its actions. That is not a free democracy...that is a Fascist dictator state. |

I feel less safe--thanks to the government. It's not "Islamic terrorists" I'm concerned about, it's the government! |

I feel less safe and I think part of it is based on my own fears. I used to work for an airline, I don't now and I'm too afraid to fly. I cannot take the subway or ride a bus, because I'm afraid someone will blow it up and I will be trapped. The screeners at the airport are still incompetent. Since we have a free society, there is no restriction of movement - which scares the hell out of me, because anyone can pull up in front of any building with a bomb and nobody would ever know or be able to do anything about it. Bush is doing nothing about our borders; he wants to give amnesty to all the illegals. I personally think we should halt immigration. How can you fix a problem when you got the constant flow of it coming in on one side and you don't have the time to fix the other, illegal side? They say their hiring agents all the time, yet - I applied over a year ago with the FBI and still haven't heard anything, even though I have a degree in Criminal Justice and good grades. I'm afraid I live to close to Washington DC that when a nuke comes, I will be fried alive. I'm paranoid - eh? |

unchanged. everything the gov't has done is just for show to make you think you are safer. The fact is that 9/11 could definitely happen again. |

Less, because we have been tested by the Islamists, and have failed that test, miserably. They only wait for the next opportunity, while America goes on it's merry way, hoping they'll forget about us. Look to Israel for the example we should be following, instead of what we are doing, which is acting like an ostrich. |

More changed. Obviously, getting through the airport is a lot more fun than it used to be...pat downs, wands, air blowing up your shirt, long lines and all. Even doing things at work. We have a super duper new security system that I'm fighting with at this very moment. I can't sit by the runway and watch the planes at the airport anymore. Danged hippy mopheads. |

Nothing has changed as far as me feeling more or less safe. I have never trusted the government and the whole sad situation just reinforced on why I do not trust the government.
Sad to say but if our government had the oportunity to rule the world or make everyone safe, (sniff sniff) our government would probly choose rule the world. On top of that they would lie to citizens and say, "once we rule the world then everyone would be safe"
Im sorry for all the lifes 911 took, and I feel for our troops and their families that are fighting and/or fought. I do not like war, death or sadness. thankful but sad, I wish no one had to die for freedom or safety or oil or anything. |

MH/Citizens Protecting Rights!

I believe our government betrayed our citizens before, during and after 9/11/01 and therefore I don't feel safe and with the lack of control of our borders and our country, I feel much less safe than I ever did. We are supposed to be a Nation of Laws and those laws are to protect us. When those laws are not enforced equally and effectively, then no one is safe. |

Great question!
I guess I feel more vulerable - more aware of what could happen. Although objectively I believe we are safer than we were before 9/11 - we just didn't know how exposed we were.
I liken it somewhat to having cancer. Many people feel just fine when the cancer is diagnosed, although objectively they were unhealthy of course. But they did not have symptoms (in many cases, a routine physical picks something up), and of course the treatments are very difficult. After treatment, they are healthier than they were, but may perceive themselves to be more at risk. |

I don't feel any safer, but I don't think my feelings of being unsafe have increased. I wasn't more afraid for the U.S. than I was during 9/11. That hasn't changed. Bush has not made me feel safer. We will get attacked again. |

I feel my safety is unchanged. But I never fly anywhere and I live way out in a rural area. |

I think we are safer since 9-11 because terrorists are being occupied in other parts of the world. I have no doubt they would do that again if they had the chance, but I feel it will be harder for them to have that chance here in the US so that makes me feel a bit safer. |

I can't relate coz I'm not an American.
Actually because of global terrorism there is no safe place nowadays, but as long as the US continue to interfere in the affairs of our sovereign race and country, bring war to other nations, manipulate economies of other territories, insist on being a global police, influence other nations' internal/political/global policies,...the US territory and US citizens around the world will always be more unsafe against terrorist reprisals and attacks. |

the only change i feel is that now i'm AWARE of just how incompetent the government is. they're completely focused on what they want, as opposed to what's best for the people.
real estate is down, the stock market is down, unemployment is higher than it was before GW, taxes are benefitting the wealthy and crippling the middle class, gas prices are up, the military is stretched thin, american vets arent being taken care of properly, men in the highest positions of government have been proven to have abused their power, and the president doesnt punish them.
this whole cabinet should be tossed in prison. none of us are any safer, and the government has intruded on our personal freedoms. if anything, i feel LESS SAFE because of the government. |

Since 911, I would say that I am changed. The blissful ignorance of the delicate world in which we live is not like that of 10yrs ago. 911 was a wake up call to many not only in America but throughout the world as a whole to the threat of terrorism. The issues facing the world today is not only of the america but the world as a whole. Each nation power hungry for domination and control of the worlds' wealth.
911 was just a birthing pain of what is transpiring in our global warming of discord and warring against one another. From Russia, North Korea, Iraq and Iran all have their own agenda's ... but there is one main collective enemy...>>>The adversary has been since the beginning of time. To steal, kill and destroy all that God loves. |

I feel less safe but it's not the terrorists I fear as much as the current admin. |

I'm not sure if it has to do with 911 or society over all. I feel a lot less secure than I did a few years ago. I've started learning Kung Fu, and in the process of getting a gun and a concealed weapons permit.
I've become quite a good with the pistol. It scares the heck out of my wife when I go to the range to practice. |

I feel a bit more safety conscious. I tend to really look at people differently and I don't trust anyone I don;t know. I used to much more open and carefree. Hadn;t a worry in the world, now I feel like I am just waiting for all the wars over there coming over here. |

i feel relatively unchanged. I don't live any where near New York and all I ever hear in the news is Iran and Iraq now. There have been no terror threats or attacks anywhere near where i live. |

Safer, but never completely, which is impossible anyway.
Since the terrorists think the battle is in Iraq (even if many others do not), we have not had a successful attack on civillians.
I lost a freind and a co-worker in the WTC, and my dad lost friends over Lockerbie (Dad worked for Pan Am). I rather they fight well trained and equiped professional soldiers than civilians. Thank You to all the Troops! |

I actually feel different in that I never thought about public safety when traveling before, but now, even when I go to work, if I see an unattended package, or see someone doing something that is not "normal", I get a little nervous for a minute. I never did that before 911. |

Relatively unchanged. Personally I'm not going to live my life in a state of fear. If I do that, the terrorist has beaten me; I'm not going to allow a coward who hides behind innocent men, women and children -I just can't allow that malignant animal beat me. |

LESS safe...NOT from danger by terrorists but by agents of the government. The few rights to privacy that were left after being decimated by the War on Drugs are now being finished off by the War on Terror.
The US is moving ever-closer to being a fully militarized Police State.
God SAVE America! |

I'll feel safer once the bombs start flying in iran and as soon as this foolish government understands what war means. |

I feel safe but on the alert at the same time. Unlike before 9/11 when nobody thought much about attack on the US. |

I am slightly more concerned about my safety since 9/11. All of the events since then have polarized people's attitudes so much that I am now more worried about idiot, fanatical Americans doing something stupid, either physically or politically, that would jeopardize either my personal safety or my constitutionally granted freedoms. |
