Does More Security at Airports Make Us Safer or Just Move the Targets?

I don't think there is a shortage of juicy targets. A few Cessna's could do very bad things to the stadium at the Super Bowl.

The real limitation seems to be a limited number of terrorists not a limited number of targets.

Cessnas crash into houses all the time. It's bad but it's no 9/11

Or a few drones?

The argument I was making is not about more or less targets, it is that securing one point against terrorists by creating a new point that's very weak against terrorists is somewhere between useless and stupid.

That there are other targets is obviously correct, but I do not feel it really addresses the point.
