Yesterday, I read in the Washington Post written by Dana Milbank that Bush's administration officials say that America will have more terrorist activity. Where? When? How? Are they preparing us? These are the questions I have on my mind. I know that they are suppose to tell the American public to be prepared for the battle that we are going to have in these upcoming months, or even years, but should they scare us even more. We have a total of 5,756 people either missing or dead in New York because of these terrorist attacks. I know that the government is trying the best they can with security; they have even done undercover work going to airports and trying to figure out which airports have the strongest security. It is pretty scary to find out that we, in Hartford, Connecticut, had a security guard sleeping on the job. The security guard should have been paying attention to his work, at least be awake, and functioning as a human being. If a terrorist walked right passed that guard he would have no problem. Should we take that risk with our lives? America should have been paying attention to our security problems before this terrible attack occured. However, we have to take this experience, unfortunately for the families and victims, as an eye opener and protect the American people. We shouldn't have to be afraid all the time, but we need to be alert and aware because if this can happen in America it can happen everywhere. Link: http://www.Ct.Now.com
