What, and where is the evidence for such a statement? Are you a security expert currently involved and knowledgeable and can support such a statement?

Yes, I don't think this is the case, nor do I think there is an argument that the statistical risk of dying in an aircraft terrorist event is significantly different to what it ever has been in the last 50 years. Actually the risk of dying in a terrorist event anywhere is incredibly small. The industry should continue to invest resources in technological safety systems and ensure that pilot training and support is maintained. Any redirection of resources would be misplaced.
