About a year after 9/11, I was taking pictures of a protestant church in suburban New York as part of a loan assessment. The cops showed up and told us someone had reported us as suspicious. He mentioned something about a mosque being nearby but I didn't know if that meant we were supposedly from the mosque or going after the mosque next. On the same trip, but later in Philadelphia, I was hassled by a rent-a-cop outside of a random building for carrying a camera.
If the goal of terrorism is to terrorize the public with irrational fears (leading to wild accusations against each other, and demanding that their government "do something, anything"), 9/11 was a success.
