SNAPSHOT: After 9/11, Fla. ‘Homeland’ changed, too

In this July 14, 2011 photo, Alexa Hamm holds up copies of newspapers related the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy in Homeland, Fla. Hamm plans to use the newspapers and a video she collected to talk to her children when they are old enough to understand. Homeland, population hovering around 335, has only about a dozen streets _ several unpaved _ a gas station, a post office and a meat market that sells hominy in giant tin cans. It’s famous for its phosphate mines _ an ingredient in the fertilizer used in some homemade explosives _ and for its name, which two months after Sept. 11, 2001, became a catchword in a nation struggling to stay secure from more terror.
