>My personal jarring moment about 9/11 was seeing the surveillance camera footage of Mohammed Atta and one of the other bombers passing through the security checkpoint at Portland Jetport. They picked their point of origin well -- a sleepy airport with few passengers and lax security. I have passed through that checkpoint many, many times, hundreds propbably. It gave me the creeps seeing those two guys pass through, knowing what they were about to do.
I have to admit I feel bad for those security guards. How could you live with yourself after that?
