The point is that the effect that attack has had on the US for the past 14 years has been massive. Probably thousands of new security protocols are in place, that arguably wouldn't have stopped an attack like that had they been in place previously. Every time they strike they put us on edge, and we make new laws and protocols to protect ourselves, giving up freedom in the name of security.
