There is no way to make people safe everywhere. The only thing you can do is make them feel safe, with the metal detectors, the security guards, snipers, enabling everyone to go about their lives believing that every precaution has been taken.
In 2001, one insane incompetent man on one flight tried to detonate one shoe bomb, and failed. In nearly two decades since, there have been more than 500 million commercial flights carrying tens of billions of passengers, and not a single person ever in the history of humanity has even been injured, much less died, due to a shoe bomb on an airplane. Literally every other cause of death is more common. So why do we still take off our shoes to get through American airports?
