Older discussions

I feel that this page is the proper place to go into the vast cultural changes that have occurred in the world and most especially the United States due to 9/11. If there is another place for it, please let me know. I have only made the very tiniest of beginnings on this subject, as it is vast.

The Aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks page is very close to what this page should be, however, I feel there is a difference. The Aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks page is more concerned with the immediate effects of the attacks.

I feel that the changes after 9/11 should be divided into the immediate effects and the longer effects it has had on the life of people ever since.

Thus Aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks should be about the immediate effects of the attacks and actions taken afterward while Post 9/11 should be about the state of the United States and the World as it relates to terrorism and how we deal with it every day. In other words, the "Post 9/11 World" is its own subject, rather than what exact steps and results happened directly after.

This page redirected to Aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, however, the Aftermath page was about immediate effects of 9/11 rather than the Post 9/11 world, which is a different subject. Therefore I have changed it.

Recent changes

I made some cleanup moves which involved removing this :Support for the administrations actions and policies was seen as one's patriotic duty, which led the U.S. to war with Iraq:[citation needed], which was tagged since March, I suspect, because it is a gross over-simplification of what led to the Iraq War and does not have a source other than the brain of some misinformed soul. --Aujourd'hui, maman est morte (talk) 07:15, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Aftermath of the September 11 attacks

I think that this should page be merged into Aftermath of the September 11 attacks. I don't see that this page deals with anything that wouldn't be suitable on that page. Nor is it really feasible to make an article about "everything" through a "post 9/11" lens. It would be far too expansive to really be useful. Long term effects of the attacks should be discussed on their page, and on the aftermath page. Nor do we have similar pages for other events. (we do have pages on immediate consequences, but not with such expansive scope as this title implies) Peregrine981 (talk) 13:52, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Air Travel

It is mentioned in this article that many Americans opted to travel by car instead of flying in the years after 9/11. I feel it is also worth mentioning the eventual heightened restriction as far as TSA patdowns and what you can and cannot bring on a plane. No doubt a lot of freedoms were chizzled at as a direct result of 9/11 and these are worth mentioning in the entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C40:4400:1E7F:A538:1C60:32D6:E9F4 (talk) 22:01, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
