This article depicts the changes New York City has gone through since the 9/11 attacks. Since then New York has taken numerous steps to prevent terrorism. Most people would say that this is a great thing; however, it has been taken way too far. There are now cameras all over the entire city watching citizens at every minute of the day which is an obvious violation of the citizen’s privacy. Also, police are on every corner and occasionally search people’s bags randomly. Now it is important to protect the people, but all of these precautions are making life in the city miserable not only for its current residents but tourists as well, who are not allowed to see attractions which used to be popular.

After the 9/11 i think the only reasonable thing the United States could do was extremely increase their security. While, these actions such as randomly searching bags and placing cameras around the city might seem excessive, this is what is necessary at present times. Additionally, airports have added new and improved body scanners that completely reveal a person on the other end of the camera. Although this may go against many peoples values, these types of measures need to be taken in order to protect the people and the country.
