At our usual, are we?
How does the probability of that compare with probability that instead of being disintegrated he turned into a tooth fairy?
On a more serious note, I find that our countermeasures have been largely reactive and centered on known villains and the methods of attack they have already tried. Ridiculous procedure of checking shoes and belts at airports is a perfect example. The question I always ask is "How are you going to change your security procedures if next terrorist tries to set his/her underwear on fire instead of shoes?".
That unfortunately is coupled with absolutely no evidence of anything being done to fight the root causes that breed people like Bin Laden and those who follow them.
