The book states in paragraph one “The gate to Pakistan was closed, and I could see that the Pakistani border guards were letting no one through.” From this you can see that no one was getting through the border.

The thundering sound of the bomb blast could be heard for miles. Men, women, and children run frantically in order to find shelter, being blinding by the massive amounts of dust that have caused the sky to turn yellow.

“Oh, right, I haven’t told you yet. You know how we got attacked by terrorists with our own planes? Well, since then, the government formed the TSA. They make sure fliers are safe to travel by checking for banned items through a metal detector and a conveyor belt that screens your baggage. So nowadays we have to get to our flights earlier than usual because of this line.” Alfred quickly said. It’s amazing what the government can get done when people die from a terrorist attack rather than a homicide at a public school.
