No successful terrorist attacks on planes going to/from western countries after 9/11/2001, that's a pretty good record. Maybe we can't prove that the security theater was responsible for that, but still, the only planes that were bombed after 9/11/2001 were inside Russia or going from Egypt to Russia.

I have a rock that keeps tigers away. For 30 years I have not encountered any tigers. That’s a pretty good record.

Last I checked, in the US there has not been a single instance of the TSA detecting and preventing a terror attack in its 25 year history.

And presumably they wouldn’t be shy about telling us if they had.

Bombings are pretty rare. The last succesful plane bombing of a plane departing from the united states that killed people was in 1962.

This is somewhat false? There were four other bombings, two in western countries (specifically EU->US flights). None of these two were successful in terms of "the plane was downed", but bombs were carried on a plane and exploded, and security didn't stop that.

22 December 2001, American Airlines Flight 63 7 May 2002, China Northern Flight 6136 25 December 2009, Northwest Airlines Flight 253 2 February 2016, Daallo Airlines Flight 159

Ok so cockpit door was locked and thus nobody can hijack plane.

Of course even that has killed people.

I thonk it has more to do with process and pilot crew closing their door.

This is an asinine take - it literally has nothing to do with the theater we deal with at the airports in America
