It's my understanding that this is one of the only actually useful things to be done after 9/11. The rest of it was basically a cytokine storm that did far more to injure the patient than the actual infection ever did.

And even adding armored cockpit doors has resulted in a crash that nobody could do anything about. The real change after 9/11 was simply that people won't sit still during a hijacking. Everything else has been security theatre. We could now switch back to 1980s-level security, and things would actually be more secure than ever.
