Did they know something?

One thing still worries me. A week ago last Friday, days before the WTC attack, we left for Chicago and eventually Seattle, from the Knoxville, Tennessee airport. I've flown from there many times. It's a small, rather laid back airport with only one concourse. But that day, security was tighter than I've ever seen it. I sent my carryon through the machine and stepped through the metal detector. Honk! They checked me thourghly with "the wand" and even felt aroung my waist and ankles. About that time, I noticed that they were searching my wife's backpack. We don't look like terrorists. We're in our 60's and generally dress up a bit when we fly. I aways feel comforted by tight airport security and this time it was really tight. But why? Did they know something?
