The US experienced a significant unifying force 22 years and 4 days ago. The effect was very clearly only temporary.

  It was still far too long.

  Last time I visited the US, the TSA still exists. Pretty sure the effects have remained. Not sure about the "unifying force" fantasy though.

    9/11 didn't unify the USA, it was used as a cudgel to beat any defectors into submission.

      I was in the US on Thursday September 6th and Thursday September 13th. From everything I observed in the days and weeks following, there was a massive increase in feelings and expressions of unity. (These were also temporary.)
