I don't think the fact that the planes were out of Logan speaks specifically to Kerry's responsibility over the matter.

On that fine point you are correct, but consider that he was warned about both the lax security and the imminent threat and probable consequence. And what did he do... nothing, zip, zero. He forwarded the material, to the very institution that was at fault, the FAA.

I happened to testify before the Presidential commission on aviation security and terrorism in 1990, following the PN 103 disaster. This one was pre Clinton. I testified then and gave supporting testimony that the FAA's testing protocols and processes were corrupt. Nothing changed.

Kerry had/has the attitude that terrorism is not that big of a deal, so did the airline industry until 9/11.

Did you read the supporting article about Kerry being warned of such a thing happening at Logan?
