Are you to suggest that only international people could ever hijack a

Nothing. Piper Cubs are rarely hijacked.

Are you to suggest that people who hijack planes in the US are only
going to train in the US, or in the air at all for that matter?

Exactly. You don't have to be a qualified pilot just to fly into a
building, and you certainly don't need any flying qualifications at
all to hijack an aircraft. Thus, you don't necessarily need any
special training at a flight school. Nor do you need any kind of
license.

These "most logical" rules and laws as you put it serve nothing but to
calm the fears of the general unthinking public, they do nothing to
protect from further incidents.

Yes. But the likelihood of other incidents is actually quite low, and
they are quite difficult to effectively prevent; whereas the
importance of impressing the stupid masses is very high, even if it
does nothing for security, especially if they are able to vote.
