Cashing In On Terror Fears
I saw this infomercial the other day for a product called the Amber Watch (Apparently, I can't find a link online). It is basically a loud, personal siren in the shape of a functional watch meant to be worn by kids that they can activate in case of danger. Doesn't sound very useful, but ok, I can see paranoid parents wanting this.

Now, guess what time is displayed every single time the watch is shown on the screen? That's right: 9:11...

Is there no end to the exploitation of the fear Americans constantly live in?
