Didnt the 911 terrorists enter legally through airports.

yes and more..I'll leave it up to your imagination

In September 1999, the Library of Congress published a report warning of the possibility of a plane crash attack. In July 2001, the FBI circulated a memo warning that some trainees at U.S. flight schools could be al Qaeda operatives. By August 6, 2001, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice and President George W. Bush had both been briefed (via the Federation of American Scientists). On August 15, 2001, the Pan Am International Flight Academy alerted the FBI to their suspicions regarding Moussauoi, who had been training with them; eight days later, the CIA sent an urgent cable to the FBI warning them of a clear threat (via CNN)

As then-CIA counterterrorism chief Cofer Black (quoted in Politico) put it, "[H]ow is it that you could warn senior people so many times and nothing actually happened?" According to Rice, though, "I thought we were doing what needed to be done."

I live in The Villages FL. Yesterday my wife and I went to a CC for lunch, any resident can eat at a CC. Anyway, there was a large group in one of the rooms. As they started to leave I noticed many were wearing FDNY clothing. A couple of them stopped at the bar to get a drink. I had to ask if they were all residents, they said yes and that there were about 200 retired FDNY people living here. I thanked them for their service and returned to my table.
