Good point, except that the garage of the WTC was not a structure, but was underground and a part of the WTC foundation, which the attackers were trying to undermine.
The problem here is that these inspections are not occuring as one enters a parking structure, they occur as one enters the airport property. And srtangely enough, all they seem to check are the car's trunk (boot), ignoring all other potential hiding places

Plus, if one has a fullish tank (mine holds 50-plus liters), then one is always allowed to carry one of the most explosive liquids known to man right up to the front (usually glass) doors: Gasoline (Petrol)!

You make a good point as regards inspections done at the entrance to the airport. The only problem is that otherwise they need to be conducted at the entrance to every garage instead at the airport, at least within a certain perimeter of the terminals. I could certainly live with that as an alternative.
