Sept 11, 6 years later

I know I owe a post on the 'rents visit, but I had to do this first. I found this link today and thought it summed things up nicely. I feel it's SO important to remember 9/11 and what has happened since then.

I also think it's crutial to recognize where we are now and analyze how much more safe we really are...or are not. Truth is, not a whole lot has changed on the security front. Truth is, as scary as it may be, we could go through this all again tomorrow. The government has shown they aren't either willing or maybe even able to protect us the way we need to be protected. The real changes in security are going to come from us. From our demanding changes. From our vigilance, like at Ft Dix or Circuit City. So inform yourself and your family. Keep your eyes and ears open. Don't be strapped by political correctness. Listen to your gut. And keep us all safer!

The Ft Dix/Circuit City incident was in NJ, obviously. There were 6 men arrested in a terror plot against the army base based on a tip by a CC employee. One of the suspects asked the employee to copy a video of the men training... firing assault rifles and screaming for jihad. He called it in to the FBI and they were able to infiltrate the group with informants. They're in jail now. Just a case of someone seeing something not right and actually doing something about it!
