It's impossible to protect against acts of terrorism. Sure, decent intelligence may help, and feet on the ground would help. But.. doubt anyone is that good to get inside a cell and have access to much info - that's why there are cells.
Hate to say it, and it's probably too much for folks to "accept" on the US side especially after 9/11, but if you listen to anyone who has been fighting terrorism for decades, they will say "cool it" and try and see where the attackers are coming from and why. By acting in X way, this can just provoke more anger or whatever and cause more deaths.
There have been guys heading the fight against Etta, IRA etc and they are slowly "winning" by changing tactics. Tho there never were or will be "winners".
Who knows why the US has never had another hit, but there is no hurry with terrorism. The only folks hurrying are the people who were attacked. And.. if these folks are spending billions on "defenses" and devoting substantial resources to fighting the hidden enemy - hell, terrorism is succeeding nicely and no reason for further attacks at this time. It may not even be the US the next time round - there's a whole world to choose from.
Ya can't stop anyone who is determined to cause havoc, - it's too easy - so just live on and don't let assholes change your way of life.
