The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Is America Safer Since 9/11?

Today marks 20 years since terrorists attacked Americans on our home soil, killing nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 9/11 triggered two decades of war in the Middle East. But are we any safer now compared to 20 years ago?

 

According to a recent survey by the Washington Post and ABC News, Americans are pretty split in their opinions. About half feel we’re more secure now while 41% say we’re more at risk.

 

Today, we’re getting the perspective of former U.S. diplomat David Rundell. He represented the United States for 30 years in the Middle East and he was in Saudi Arabia on September 11th, 2001.
