I agree with justamom. Our lives are evolving and this will, sadly, become "normal and everyday."
I've noticed I am WAY jumpy. I was standing at a stop light and some jerk behind me yelled BANG and I jumped out of my skin. I am normally not like that.
I'm getting on an American Airlines non-stop flight from LAX to Washington Dulles in two weeks. A 767, loaded with fuel for the cross country trip. And I will admit I am scared about it. What if it turns and heads for San Francisco instead for more terrorism? Seems like the West Coast is a sitting duck of a target right now. The events on the East Coast are so far removed from our daily existence, and while I feel it as an employee of Cantor FItzgerald, I see a lot of my friends that, while not unconcerned, don't seem to be as worried about things as I am. Their blase attitudes and calls to "put it behind me" irritate me to no end.
And if something were to happen to my flight-- I am not so much worried for myself, but I don't want my parents, brothers, family and friends to have to go thru what they would go thru if a plane I was on was hijacked. I don't want anymore lives lost in terrorist attacks on Americans, or anyone worldwide, for that matter. I don't want anymore families torn apart.
