There is a GA airport near me where there are at least 5 Citations parked. The company that owns them, besides using them for charters also uses them to tow target drones for the military. At midnight there is no security, and maybe a couple of cameras. For that matter, the closest GA airport near me has an flyable F-14 in their museum that is parked outside.

I have to ask though, can we also apply the same logic to Lady Dianne's death! Talk about something that is over memorialized....

It would be super easy for someone to make a bomb from fertilizer and blow up a crowded area like Oklahoma City. People just aren't that messed up, and terrorists of any type don't seem to want to waist their time on just killing randomly in order to have a huge death toll for the hell of it. If someone wanted to add ricin to mail and hand deliver it like people do when they leave stuff on your door or on your car as advertisements, a person could kill thousands of people. It wouldn't even be that expensive. So many public events from marathons to sporting events, etc have little to no security, and it wouldn't take much to bring an automatic weapon close enough in range to mow down a huge group of people. Add multiple gunmen, and the death toll could be in the hundreds. Multiple SUVs breaking through the "barriers" at a marathon or at a parade at highway speeds would do massive damage to lives, but this doesn't really happen, especially in a coordinated way from multiple attackers. We have all these things from domestic terrorists on a much smaller scale, but nothing like 9/11 in size, even though we are no more shielded from these events than we were before. People say a plane couldn't be highjacked now, but all the terrorists had then was box cutters. Ask anyone in prison if a shank couldn't be made in short time from anything. I wonder what the plane would do if multiple terrorists took hostages and demanded the crew to open the cockpit. They say the cockpit is locked, and they have a gun now, but if a shank was held up to a baby or other hostage throat, I don't know what the pilot would do. Even still, the pilot could be in on it, whether the person was radicalized or paid off in some way.

I was thinking this afternoon about being 20+ years after the fact. I have an intern this semester that I am twice her age, born the year in graduated high school. When I was a kid thinking about the sixties it seemed so long ago. Like 20 years prior to being born, the voting rights act happened.
Almost a lifetime later after 9/11/01, I can’t help but wonder what kids think about what happened at the turn of the century. |

My version of this is WWII and Korea. When I was 10 years old (where I might have thoughts about these things) WWII was behind us by 24 years and Korea 18 years. I knew about WWII from my Grandfather, but had no clue that Korea was a thing until 5 or 6 years later when we talked about it in a high school modern history and later an JROTC course.

And knowing how history classes were taught between like 1998 and 2011, I don't have much hope for this generation because it's surely gotten worse plus now they're obsessed with TikTok lol. But then again I'm sure people born in the 70s said the same about us born in the 90s.

He's just trying to be edgy. We all know the real fun came in with the TSA doing body scans.

5th grade. Wasn’t at school yet, but I went downstairs to eat breakfast and watch Pokémon and my mom had the news on and seemed very invested. Didn't really know what happened until getting to school.
A lot has happened and changed since then. 20 years of war. There are kids today who are overseas who weren’t even alive when 9/11 happened.
