That doesn't justify someone abusing flawed systems to threaten people's lives.

If the bad actors are halfway around the globe where they have zero jurisdiction, what can you reasonably expect US law enforcement to do? It's a bit like getting mad at police for not investigating your car getting broken into, because you left the windows cracked open.
9/11 also happened spectacularly in the middle of new york. Does that mean law enforcement tried to do something about Afghanistan? Was it the fault of airports to not do a thorough cavity search of each and every passenger?

Our life is to this day in many small ways runs on a contract that others are not trying to kill us. Security check or not.

I didn’t say law enforcement. Maybe the intelligence agencies can do something useful.
