If you have half a heart, and a fraction of a living mind, you should never forget September 11th, and you should never forget that it affected you, and still affects you to this very moment.

Opening shoes and belts and inconveniences like that are least of the problems many fellow human beings face on this planet. Your grandfather said the right thing and your post proves that point. There is a long history behind 9/11, if you did not dig out the history and try to understand why it happened, then all those that sacrificed their lives did that in vain, I am sorry to say. Like someone said, if we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it and we are repeating it as we hit our keyboards.
