Nobody was laughing about airport security in October, 2011. Living in downtown Denver at the time, I was still paranoid walking under skyscrapers.
“I just watched the complete scene and fully understand why they chose not to air it two weeks after 9/11. It wouldn’t have gone over well at all.

My family and I had moved away to Canada from Denver just a year or so before 9-11.
That is neither here nor there, what I mean was, no, that would NOT have been funny... and I actually think the rewrite was funnier.
“We’re you! Just ten seconds later!” LOL. “We want the stuff!” LOL. :)
It says a lot about the writers that they were able to switch gears and change that and actually make it even funnier.
If 9-11 hadn’t happened, people might think that scene is funny. And of course, it is, but not really. It would have been if those events hadn’t happened.
And the writers or producers dedicated one of the shows to the people of New York City not long after 9=11. It probably was even that one.
And there are many pro-NYC, pro-US references, in the clothes they wear, in posters, what have you, maybe even in the scribbles on the door for messages, etc.... all right after 9-11.
Kind of like withdrawing THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE from circulation after John Kennedy was shot.
