The TSA only inspects flights out of America, so I'm interested in how frequently attempts on flights out of U.S. airports occurred prior to 9/11.

Looks like the last attempt before 9/11 was back in 1994 (FedEx Flight 705).
The last one before that seems to have been in 1978 (TWA Flight 541).
Correct me if I'm wrong, as this is based on a Wikipedia page. But that doesn't seem too frequent to me.
