You are right as to the first sentence. The problem is, 9/11 has become the poster child for national overreaction.
With regard to your second sentence, what is wrong with it is that you are collectively trying to link the necessity of TSA with ensuring that another 9/11 doesn't happen. And as we all know, 9/11 didn't happen because of lax gate security.

I agree with the first sentence. I couldn't disagree more with the second sentence. TSA has been worse than a waste of time - it has squandered valuable national resources in exchange for
no real improvement in aviation security. We're paying millions more for nothing. Other than guaranteed federal employment for 30,000 people.
