I've wanted to visit the 9/11 memorial since it opened. Reading about nightmarish levels of "security" has me reconsidering. Thoughts?

My visit to the World Trade Center has been cancelled. Hope of having dinner at Windows on the World have vanished along with plans to fly Concorde.

I’ve lived in Manhattan for years now. Part of me still wants to see the footprint of this iconic complex up close now that I can.

But reports of oppressive levels of security trigger anxiety. I have no choice but to put up with this bullshit when I fly. This then is a different matter.

Part of me wants to forge ahead as the terrorists involved in the building’s destruction vowed to disrupt the lives of those of us in the free world.

Other Jellie’s perspective?
