I take that back...

In my last post I made a relatively silly point about why the 1990s were the "good times" in comparison to the years since.

- Because of the ignorance, security and travelling issues were a lot more laid back. Travelling to the USA or anywhere else was much less of a hassle.

Even though I made it clear that security was lax due to a general ignorance about possible threats, let me make it clear that I (generally) consider that ignorance regrettable because it resulted in 9/11 and other possible catastrophes.

On another topic, there was a thought that crossed my mind several months ago. I wonder what happened to the security agents that essentially allowed 9/11 to take place due to their failure to be adequately vigilant. Do you think that they still work at airport security, and more importantly.......... how do they live with themselves? I don't mean that in a mean way, but I would have a very hard time carrying on with life, knowing that the deaths of nearly 3000 people and a major factor in the partial meltdown of the US economy was because of my failure to be vigilant enough when doing my job. Has anyone heard anything about them? I haven't.
