Raoul, 9/11 was not the first attack on the U.S. and its interests, or even the first attack on the World Trade Center.
Previous leaders believed that capturing the actual few people who performed the attack would end the problem. It didn't, any more than killing bin Laden would have brought an end to the worldwide threat of radical Islamism.
As for facing the problem at our own borders, there are ways to make our borders more secure, and ways to drastically improve security on our own territory when the rest of the world is seething with terrorists seeking our destruction, but I'm not sure that the kind of people who were upset about someone looking at phone records, or don't want the borders fenced, would really want to live in such a society.
