There's of course a rather large difference between terrorists hijacking an airplane and killing everyone on board and terrorist hijacking an airplane and killing everyone on board plus hundreds of other people by crashing the plane into a building.
Regardless, you're making a false comparison. Suppose #1 said "Terrorist hijacking fifty planes and crashing some of them into buildings and some of them into bridges, killing over 150,000 people." Would your answer be different then?
I don't like security checkpoints, either. But I consider them an objectionable, but sometimes necessary, part of life these days. I think the PATRIOT Act and its ilk are much worse, because you have no control over what happens to your privacy whatsoever. When you're flying, you know ahead of time what the restrictions are, and you can (generally) avoid having your stuff poked through.
