Have you all been reading the articles? The overwhelming response from the populace is one of complacency: "Well, what else can we do?", "It's better to FEEL safe", "I think it's ridiculous, but I'll do it anyway." They have no choice, since no one knew that this was going to happen today. My husband is one of thousands being caught up in this right now. The airlines should be giving people full ticket refunds; my husband has the right to take his business elsewhere without being penalized.

They're not realizing that this is going beyond mere "inconvenience." It's that type of attitude of letting things just happent to you is why we will continue to be at the whim of others. I wish more people would be inclined to stand up and say, NO, I'm NOT going to let this happen. Perhaps that kind of attitude would have made more of a difference on 9/11.
