After 9/11 security was ramped up all over the place. It wasn't just airports, it was concert venues, any place where large crowds gather. That people are on edge is not abnormal. We were on edge back then too.
There was that car that backfired in Time Square that cause pretty much everyone to start running, so its not just young people who are scared but pretty much anyone that is in an area with a large group of people.
For the amount that people like to say 'the terrorists have already won'... well, they were trying to incite terror, and they did. If you need any further evidence, try and organize a large public event or festival and check out the insurance costs compared to pre-9/11.
Can't call these guys terrorists though because something something freedom. If the fact that child sized bulletproof backpacks are desirable to the point that they can be found in department stores doesn't speak to the terror that they've caused, I don't know what will.
