Abstract

On September 11, 2001, the United States was hit by a terrorist attack that was so spectacular in its methods, and so devastating in terms of the loss of life and the destruction of property, that every citizen—no matter where they were at the time—felt its impacts. And for most people, this singular, yet devastating, event came to mark what—even in its earliest stages—appeared to be a major turning point in the nation's experience with terrorism. In the days, the months, and now the years that have followed, the country has witnessed the creation of entirely new government agencies that are massive in size and scale, and an expansion of functions across the federal, state, and local government levels as well—all of which are focused on preventing a similar attack from happening.
