(Why does Firefox's spell checker recognize "rematerialized" and not "teleported"?)
And in fairness to the 9/11 comparison - those people died IN ADDITION, not INSTEAD of, which far too many people skip over (you didn't - "Salute!") My point is "We fix what we can, live with or gripe about what we can't. Until we can." People will die no matter what we do for the foreseeable future. The best we can do is mitigate it to the level we are able. Mass murder really is one of those "If we can just stop them from..." things they think/hope/dream of being able to fix.
Oh, I also agree with the TSA that if you don't have a ticket you're not getting beyond the gate, and you should have I.D. to fly. The rest is a nightmare joke. Seriously, SHOES?
