The biggest problem with your scenario is that there is and has been nothing in place at the airport to prevent it from happening. The real question to answer is why have there not been more attacks. Obviously not TSA/DHS, so why? The answer to that question points the way to enhanced security, and it is not going to happen at the airport.
