The country overnight decided...

Your country was changing...

you do realise you're on the World Wide Web, right? Please stop acting like there's only one country in the world, and that's the omnipotent, wonderful USA. That's what the message you're replying to refers to: 9/11 was important for the USA, but the world is much bigger.

You ever been through an airport before and after? That shit alone was so different between, say, 1999 and 2003. The othering certainly took place across a fairly broad swathe of the Western world, and the post-millennium paranoia never let up. 1999 was an amazing year to be alive. There really did seem to be a boundless optimism that, God, if you could've bottle it it'd sell like hotcakes
