That's a point: A missile attack is quite unprobable. After all, Assured Mutual Destruction has worked many year with Russia. Which country would fire a missile against USA, knowing that it would be responsed within minutes?
This is a great advantage for this kind of terrorist attacks: It's difficult to find the responsibles, because they're kind of secret organizations. They can make this kind of attacks hoping to come out unharmed, which would be impossible for a missile attacker.
I think the money could be much better spent on intelligence. After all, it's quite worrying that someone can hijack four planes without no one noticing. This attack must have been planned months ago, and prepared, but the CIA didn't new about it. If we all accept that this attacks are more probable than missile attacks, and we are almost unprotected against them, they're a priority.
