In effect, despite after having spent billions (and forgetting the "war" since that had nothing to do with terrorism), in terms of security, folks are no better off and have succumbed to the intent of terrorists who have caused severe economic damage.

I may sound little... but ya never change anything because of terrorist attacks (apart from taking reasonable precautions). The US is in no way "safer" despite the ramblings of politicians. Don't think there ever has been anything which can be called a "success" in a terrorist war and there is never a "winner".
