What have been the results of the September 11 terrorist attacks, both domestically and internationally? What security measures have been put into place?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

The ideal answer should include:
1. On September 12, 2001, Congress gave the president sweeping powers "to use all necessary and appropriate force" against those responsible for the September 11 attacks.
2. Congress soon after passed the PATRIOT Act, which gave federal authorities substantial new capacity to conduct criminal investigations.
3. Since then Americans have wrestled with the right balance between security against terrorist attacks and respect for the privacy of U.S. citizens.
4. Domestically, there has also been an increased fear of Islam and Muslims.
5. Internationally, the attacks of September 11 were at the root of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which have resulted in the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Afghanistan and Iraqi soldiers and civilians, as well as trillions of dollars in costs.
6. New crises continue to arise, most recently with the chaos in Syria, and the rise of ISIS and other terrorist organizations.
7. The future in that part of the world, and America's role in it, is an open question.
