2023-06-11
- Fear of the Unknown - When the Unabomber's reign of terror began in 1978, no one knew who was behind the attacks or when they would end. This created a pervasive sense of fear and paranoia that no one was safe.
- Lingering Anxiety - Even when the Unabomber was apprehended in 1996, the lingering effects of his attacks were still felt. People were constantly looking over their shoulders, unsure if the Unabomber had any accomplices still at large.
- Heightened Security - The Unabomber's attacks led to heightened security measures in airports, universities, and businesses across the country, with many places introducing metal detectors and other screening measures.
- The Aftermath - The Unabomber's legacy of violence left many people traumatized and questioning the state of safety in America. The fear of the unknown was replaced by a realization that even seemingly normal people can be capable of extreme violence.
