Consequently, it had made Americans grow closer together in the wake of the tragedy. Ever since the beginning, America has faced many significant changes, but ever since the atrocity of 9/11, America has made many changes that made an impact to most Americans.

On November 19, 2001, President George Bush signed into law the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA).
