I think the issue of Reagan National is irrelevant. A terrorist could just as easily rent, buy or steal a private jet, load it full of bomb material. File a flight plan from Richmond to Philly and while at flight level 31 near Washington, execute a nice little suicide dive into any Washington target he wanted. There would be absolutely the same reaction time as an approaching flight to RNA, NONE. Even a controlled (relatively) descent of 5000 FPM you only have 4 + minutes to react if you figured it out immediately.
