IMO, there have been exactly two positive security advances post-9/11: you can't barge into the cockpit anymore, and everyone in the air knows to resist attempts to hijack the plane. Adding more air marshals, creating the draconian TSA, forbidding liquids on flights -- it's not worth the time or money.
