10,000 deaths is alot different from 30. Plus 9-11 also showed us we weren't as immune to danger as once expected. We had a serious threat wanting to harm large numbers on US citizens on US soil. The threat at Virginia Tech was not only, as terrible as it sounds, no where near as big of a shock, but was also neutralized quickly.
