    Did you know it changed everything? Because that’s what we were told regularly until about 2010 or so when pretty much everyone had stopped buying it.

          It didn’t change everything, but it did change some things. We still take our shoes off to get through airport security, for example.

            Airport security is by far the most identifiable change for me personally. We never used to take shoes or belts off at airport security, we never walked through backscatter x-ray machines, we could carry liquids onto the plane and you could see your family or friends off at the departure gate even if you didn’t have a boarding pass.

          It also kind of kicked off the war on terror, and we know that had all kinds of ripple effects for the world at large

      That’s more media than school. But my understanding of it is that it kind of did. Mostly for people who frequent airports and Muslims than anyone else though
