How 9/11 Changed our freedom.

Many of the kids who wore born after the 2000's don't know of the great changes that occurred due to 9/11. Everyone talks about the tragic day, and everyone morns the death of those millions of people. Though so many kids don’t know what was changed due to this unannounced terrorist attack. Few of us had ever heard of Osama bin Laden, and ISIS didn’t exist. We deported half the people we do today. Our surveillance was a fraction of its current size, you could use your cell phone on the plane and you didn’t have to take your shoes off at the airport. Freedom is an amazing thing to have but not when its not being used responsibly. Due to all the freedom that was aloud before the terrorist attacks is that messages between the terrorist could be sent, and guns were somehow able to get on the plans. After our president realized that he needed to enforce more rules so that this wouldn't happen again. After 9/11 there were on going wars a month after this tragedy the u.s went into Afghanistan. Deportation was a more serious topic, everyone who wasn't here legally was seen and is still seen as a criminal. Everything was on more serious watch. Anything that seemed suspicious was checked into, you could never be too careful. Even though there were some limits to our freedom placed, america was not on lock down like it might sound. we still get our freedom like our founding fathers intended.
