The Shire was unprotected. Sauron is not going to waltz up to one of the last Elven strongholds because someone speaks Mordor. But he might send a bunch of orcs when someone uses it in the middle of nowhere all of a sudden.

In the books I think the shire does end up getting attacked after Sauron is defeated in the post war Battle of Bywater.
Yes, by Saruman who tried to create a new Mordor.
I get why it's not in the movies, but all the hobbits turning into absolute badasses after their homes are threatened was amazing to read.
Gotta get that racoon who stole his cell phone.
