David is right: If someone wasn't realistically old enough to remember 9/11, they don't recall the "freedom" that prevailed before it happened. Their first frame of reference is the Patriot Act, the color-coded terror alert system, and so on (and if they're from Staten Island, they can never remember a time when people could bring their cars aboard the Staten Island Ferry).
And if 1996 is the Millennial/Homelander (or as I like to call them, the Activist Generation) boundary, then so is 1958 the Boomer/Xer boundary (the only thing I can recall about the JFK assassination is that I got yanked from kindergarten and sent home early).
