The airline business seems to be the only one that aims to check EVERYONE all the time
Yes, well, it's arguable that if the answer is "none", that's because potential terrorists know that they will be required to submit to a very revealing security scan of themselves and their hand baggage. If the regime is relaxed to the point where this no longer happens to EVERY passenger, this might be seen as an opportunity to try to get a weapon of some sort on to an aircraft.
