But the one question that many Americans keep asking is, are we safer as a nation 25 years after the horrific terrorist attack on September 11, 2001?

The Ravi Report spoke to several people recently near Ground Zero in New York City and they said they do feel safer now and are more apt to report to the authorities any suspicious activities or incidents regarding terrorism then they would have before.

Others felt that in 25 years, the country finally has closed US borders and with modern technology and the current Trump Administration arresting and deporting undocumented criminals and terrorists, and by having tighter immigration laws, they feel much safer then they did 25 years ago.

Many of the younger generation of adults that were asked (those who the RR spoke to, weren’t even born yet when 9/11 happened) said that the power of social media and every with phone having a camera, it makes it easier for people today to report anything suspicious due to instant images and recordings.
