Yes. However, nobody's considering the rate of actual terrorism attempts. If they were, we'd remove every dollar of the TSA's budget and spend it on highway safety. Or, if we specifically wanted to spend money guarding potential terrorism targets, we'd spread our security dollars over airports, schools, stadiums, water and power plants, shopping malls, bridges, office buildings, parking decks, subways, concert halls... ... see how impossible it is to actually protect everything? Luckily, it's not necessary in the first place.
