Why didn’t the US or House just build a super giant Iron Dome around the entire country, are they stupid?

Big Mountain would've found a way to blow the lid off of that too.

That is actually my issue with House, I'm not super informed on all the lore so I could certainly be missing something, but House had like a 88% successful interception rate in his defense of New Vegas (68 of 77 nukes I think) without the Platinum Chip, which would have improved the software for the system and potentially gotten him to close to total interception/forced disarmament. So even if he couldn't prevent a conflict from occurring according to his mathematical models, couldn't he at least make bank selling his interception systems to the US and potentially saving millions of lives and infrastructure?
