On the morning of September 11th, 2001, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks by way of four hijacked airliners was conducted by members of the Islamic terrorist group al-Qa’ida, resulting in the loss of over 3,000 American lives. In the wake of the attacks, many issues were identified within the Intelligence Community (IC), namely that intelligence information had not been shared between agencies or with local law enforcement apparatuses in order to piece together the looming threat. The 9/11 Commission, created in the aftermath of the attacks to piece together a complete account of the circumstances that led up to the tragedy, soon discovered that law enforcement officials in Maryland had issued a traffic citation two days before the attacks to Lebanese-born Ziad Samir Jarrah, an individual who had been placed on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) watch list, and who would later become known as the pilot hijacker of United flight 93. To the Commission, this was a gross miscommunication that had resulted in missed opportunities to apprehend the terrorists. Had law enforcement officials been able to have access to this vital information, Jarrah might have been apprehended before committing his crime. Other discoveries revealed the bold moves of the perpetrators of the attack, who had not hidden their identities nor made any attempt to mask their disinterest in learning to land commercial aircraft; they further communicated openly by way of the Internet.

September 11. 2001 was a major turning point in American History, and its political and social impact can still be felt today. The tragic event shook the entire country on the civilian and federal level. Before 9/11 many did not think that a plan of terrorism such as that of Osama Bin Laden's would be able to come to fruition because they had great trust in American security. The destruction came as a wakeup call to the federal government and American citizens themselves. National Security became the first thing people thought of when they traveled, and civilians looked to the government for reassurance that they were safe. The federal government's plan of action was to pass a series of acts that would go on to create the Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Association. Along with the creation of more strict security measures came the question of "who is a terrorist?" within the country. The formation of the DHS, TSA, and increase of Islamophobia are some examples of the lasting effects that 9/11 had on the country.
