Most of us would agree that the terrible events of 9/11 resulted in significant changes in the way we lived our lives. A certain innocence was lost as we struggled to understand what had happened and what it would mean for us and for our children. Our government has also changed the way it saw the world and our role in it. Everything from the TSA checks we undergo when we board an airplane to the wars some of us have fought in, Iraq and Afghanistan being the most notable, resulted from that terrible day.
To our credit, we have adapted to the “new reality” of a post-9/11 world. The government re-organized itself, creating the Department of Homeland Security, beefing up its military, and thoroughly re-vamping the ways in which we collected, processed, analyzed, and disseminated intelligence. No organization has changed more profoundly in this regard than the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
