Defenders have to think about multiple threats. Explosives are harder to get, conceal from certain types of scans, and are more overtly deliberate. Neither of these is a common threat but that doesn’t mean people don’t harden against low probability/ high damage events.

I mean, if we're going to ignore physical attacks then yeah an airplane can be as safe as a computer I suppose.
