When I say close the border, that means all ports of entry. Legal can come in when they are legal. An airport from the middle east arrives at a port of entry. So does a cargo ship. So do illegal aliens from Canada and Mexico. They all need to be addressed. I do not think a 3000 mile southern border is necessary.....just fence the high volume choke points and surveil the wilderness areas. We need to control penetration of bad guys into this country. Scrutiny of who comes into the USA is essential. In the film one of the second tier security guards exercised his initiative and denied one of the attackers entry. If he denied someone who was only a tourist, that is the perogative we have in this country....just like most other countries.
If we controlled the borders it would allow assets to be freedup for other functions.
One thing I feel sure of is nothing that I say or opine has not already been strongly considered by security personell in this country. We are safer than prior to 9-11.

I think someone else named it the "Dick Clarke American Grandstand" complex.
