My wife and I were at work. The kids at daycare.
She worked for the government in a Federal facility that was half military. They went into lockdown, then began clearing out government employee buildings one by one to control a single exit gate.
She got out, picked up the kids and went home.
I had to fly for a project to witness a pump test the first week after air traffic restarted. I got searched at the door, at check in and at the plane every time. I had a one day ticket there and back because I couldn't rent cars or hotels. So that was a little suspicious. There were military patrols with rifles in the LA airport, heavy police presence everywhere.
Not many people in the airports. Sort of like when I flew during Covid.
The US forgot, but they still want us dead.
