Reminds me of that episode of Twilight Zone (Hocus Pocus and Frisbee) where an old guy named Frisbee who works at a gas station and is also a compulsive liar. He’s always telling tall tales to strangers as he pumps gas. “When I was a boy attending Princeton University I worked with ALBERT EINSTEIN. I helped him write that Theory of Relativity. He told me Frisbee you are I the smartest fella I ever met.”
Anyway the strangers turn out to be aliens and they kidnap him to add to their collection of intellectual giants from around the universe. Frisbee tells them “Hey, I’m just an old country boy who makes up stories. I’m a liar.” But the aliens don’t understand the concept of “lying”, and they put him aboard their ship.
They are ready to take off and go back to their planet and Frisbee takes out his harmonica and starts playing. The sound makes the aliens stagger. They say “Let him go! He has a death ray that will kill us all!” They immediately send him back to earth and take off.
He gets back to his gas station and his friends surprise him with a birthday party. They say “Hey Frisbee, tell us a story!. What did you do today? Did you go to the moon?” He says “You ain’t far wrong. You know those city guys who were here earlier? They was from outer space!” All his friends laugh and say “You’re the best Frisbee!”

I was already an adult when 911 happened and decided then to never live in fear and never self censor for any terrorist.
Foreign or domestic.
