I suppose their's been a few 'head-in-hands' moments in the past where things have gone wrong. I remember a few news reports and TV programs about the airport's failings in the past, staff putting suspicious finds in their pockets; they even let a young lad through who managed to fly all the way to Italy.
Whatever the *real* stories were doesn't matter, it's what gets reported and sticks in people's heads that counts.
Perhaps there's a bit of closing of barn doors after the horses have bolted action going on, as a result, it has now become unbearable. So "Separate Trays Susan" and "Liquids out Linda" now must suspect everyone and make it obvious to the boss who's watching on the cameras!
