Systems designed to prevent black swan events need to be evaluated against a higher standard than "there haven't been any since we started". That's not success, it's exactly what we would have expected anyways.

We would have expected no large scale terrorist attacks in the US from 2001 until now? Absolutely no one expected that.
Is it a black swan event if it was attempted 8 years earlier (WTC 1993, 6 dead, 1000 injured)?
