I think that you need to consider that a terror attack need not result in loss of life to be "successful". Richard Reid failed to bring down a plane but he did manage to change the way that security was handled internationally. It is the intent of terrorism to provoke a response and sow seeds of distrust. In this the terrorists have been eminently successful.
