It got worse after the shoe bomber and then worse again when the airports found out they could make more money selling water after security by only having ‘convenience’ warm water in the toilets.

Other than the security checkpoints, all of that happened incrementally over time. 9/11 is just a convenient before/after for the airline industry.
