With the very notable exception of 911, that's simply not true.
The Madrid bombings, the various India and E. Africa attacks, the French attacks from earlier this year and yesterday-all of these could have been carried out with almost exactly the same with planning a century ago, or with ease a half century ago.
9/11 was the only one of all those attacks that truly used technology in a new and frighteningly innovative way. And almost no one thinks that will happen again, because every plane passenger in the world knows that unopposed Islamic radical hijackings are a death sentence, and so will without exception revolt en masse, even if it causes the plane to go down (indeed, there's significant evidence that passengers had adapted to this terrifying reality within an hour of the initial attacks, i.e. United Flight 93).
