I have to agree Kakki. I remember the night of 9-11. Of course I was glued to the television most of the day and knew there was no allowed air traffic. But that night I heard planes through the night (here in Connecticut). I remember thinking that I felt somewhat secure knowing that our military was protecting us ... surveying the skies ... but then again, it made me fearful of the unknown ... the unknown being what was going to happen next.

Since you brought it up - it definitely makes me feel more safe. The F-16s were flying over parts of L.A. right after 9-11, particularly near the harbor area (which is near where my parents live). My mom says they are still going over occasionally. I was on Catalina island a few weeks ago and one whizzed right over Two Harbors where I was staying one night at about midnight - jumped me right out of my seat - not because of it's presence but because I thought something had happened to be on high alert. Right after 9-11 several military helicopters started methodically criss-crossing back and forth over downtown every night around 2 a.m. One about flew by by window at eye level one night. Reminded me of the movie Apocalypse Now. It's all very surreal but personally I feel a bit more assured than not having their presence. Kakki
