I take your point, but it is very difficult to keep the security covert. I also think that the work of arresting these guys is done in a different arena, the priority at the airport on the day is to make sure no flight is put at risk. Also to arrest these guys after check in you need to know exactly who they are, which I am sure isn't always the case.

I am no expert in security, but I think it is easy to make false assumptions about how things should or shouldn't be done with out really knowing what the exact issues that are faced by those in the know. Kind of like press assumptions on how pilots do their jobs really.
