In what ways did the U.S. benefit from 9/11?

Question

I know the owner of the towers received billions of dollars from insurance, George Bush's approval rate skyrocketed, we got access to oil fields, we got to declare a "war on terror" which basically gives us the right to attack anyone and anything that might be 'terroristic,' and many totalistic laws were passed under the assumption of one being a terrorist (useful for a New World Order). But what other benefits did the government get from the 9/11?

Don't call me a sicko, I'm just putting a list together. Neutral research. Call the FED sickos. Enough said and thanks for the help.
