Defining the Decades2000s: 9/11 - Saturday Evening Post

- https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2025/10/defining-the-decades-part-4-1990s-2000s-2010s-and-2020s/

Let’s start with the part that you might not know; the FBI code-name for the investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 was PENTTBOM, which stood for a combination of Pentagon, Twin Towers, and bombing. As for the rest, you know the story. 9/11 launched the “War on Terror,” which resulted in years-long conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other fields of engagement. In addition to the loss of life and the permanent change to the skyline of New York City, the day resulted in long-term changes to travel and our identification documents. Culturally, Americans were forced to deal with trading some personal freedoms in the name of security, while the sudden cessation in air traffic and a downturn in air travel forced the U.S. government to rescue the air industry with a $15 billion bailout. Unfortunately, the background of the 9/11 terrorists fostered an increase in xenophobia, a sentiment that would also bleed over into the 2008 presidential election with unfounded accusations regarding the citizenship of Hawaiian-born Barack Obama.
