AP Poll: Fear of Terror Attack Persists
/Memories of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 are
burned deeply into the nation's consciousness, and Americans today are
as fearful of becoming a victim of terrorism as they are of losing
their job or having their home burglarized. In a measure of the trauma
of that day, an Associated Press poll found that 98 percent remember
exactly what they were doing three years ago when hijackers flew
jetliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing almost
3,000. Those memories can resurface with the most routine cues, a plane

becoming a victim of terrorism. That's about the same level of concern
people have about getting burglarized or losing their job. [more
