From CNN.com<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

So if September 11, 2001, was the day our innocence was taken, then April 15, 2013, is the reminder that it is never coming back.<\/p>\n

And we do not need the president to say the word to feel the word.<\/p>\n

It is felt each time we have to take off our shoes at the airport, have an TSA officer pat us down, throw away a tube of toothpaste because\u00a0it\u2019s over the allotted<\/a>\u00a03.4 ounces. The FAA temporarily restricted flights over the bombing site while security was increased in cities as far away as Miami and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

We do not need the president to say the word to feel it.<\/p>\n

I was in central London earlier this month and was having a difficult time finding a garbage can whenever I had something to discard. Finally, I asked some of the residents why it was so hard to find one and was reminded that the Irish Republican Army hid bombs in garbage cans during the 1990s and as a result they are still seen as a security threat\u2026.<\/p>\n

If September 11, 2001, made you cry, then April 15, 2013, should make you angry.<\/p>\n

All of the laws, the creation of Homeland Security, the trillions spent, the political grandstanding and debates and yet the best we can do is make the country safer. We will never, ever be safe again. Not in the way many of us remember being safe growing up\u2026.<\/p>\n

So while Obama telling the American people those responsible will \u201cfeel the full weight of justice,\u201d we are haunted by the fact that \u201cjustice\u201d won\u2019t bring the victims back.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustice\u201d won\u2019t undo the fear embedded in the people who were closest to the blast. \u201cJustice\u201d won\u2019t take us back to September 10, 2001 \u2026 back before the word \u201cterrorism\u201d was on the tip of every American\u2019s tongue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
