Tell me why these photos of the Hijackers are so damn chilling. I think it's because they went to the ATM, Wal-Mart, stayed at a Comfort Inn and bought gas the night before they committed mass murder and forever changed the world. Until the moment they took control of the plane, they really weren't so different from us.

What's both a little scary and a little comforting is how damn many cameras there are at places we all go to in our everyday life, enough to fill a page like this one with photos of every transaction. Of course I'm glad they have them to see what these guys were up to in their final hours but it makes me wonder how far we'd gone in invading privacy in the name of safety even before the attacks.

Today, we say we don't care, take our picture, but it's creepy that they have all these shots of them.
