What you mistakenly refer to as the "last war" is part of a multilayer approach to physical security that, if left unplugged, would be used again. And again.
Your analysis and conclusion isn't borne out by the facts.
So intentionally failing to screen cargo is part of a multilayer approach to physical safety? What an unorthodox approach to security! I guess that only passengers can harm an airliner. But if we pay so much attention to shoes because of
one attempt, why are we ignoring the fact that
explosives in cargo is a method that has brought down several airliners? Meanwhile, hardened cockpit doors, refusal to obey the demands of hijackers, and vigilant passengers who will not be cowed by blades will prevent another 9/11. This is the real plugging of the hole, and this plugging of the hole does not violate Americans' 4th Amendment rights.
