It's strange to me that nothing so big has happened in the 25 years since, considering how many wars that the United States has been involved in either directly or indirectly.
Is it because our national security really is that much better as a result of it, or maybe just that citizens aren't made aware of anything else, or has there really never been another attack on American soil?
Security has gotten a lot better. The TSA didn't exist until two months later in November 2001 and wasn't fully in place at all airports until late 2002. The 2005 UK bombings also forced even more security, which is how the UK became essentially a surveillance state.
Most of the responses to those wars happened to Europe instead. Post covid it's mostly been sporadic knife attacks though which don't make international news.
