How did 9/11 affect domestic policy?

Eighteen years ago, the United States wasn't officially engaged in any wars. Few of us had ever heard of al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden, and ISIS didn't even exist.

We deported half the number of people we do today. Our surveillance state was a fraction of its current size. And -- perhaps hardest to believe -- we didn't have to take off our shoes to go through airport security.

America’s involvement in the War on Terror -- prompted by the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- resulted in a dramatic change in our nation's attitudes and concerns about safety, vigilance and privacy.

It ushered in a new generation of policies like the USA Patriot Act,  prioritizing national security and defense, often at the expense of civil liberties.
