I haven't read the whole thread but this is a problem in various airports in Europe too.
I had my (large) backpack taken apart in Albania the other day; they were very interested in various small and sharp tools. But, the man said, as it's your plane it's meaningless for us to stop you carrying this stuff.
In these big airports you usually pay for "handling" and for that you get a bus which takes you all the way to the plane. That way they make sure you don't pass items to other people on the air side.
It's going to be a real problem, because one could pass items to others and - short of re-organising the airport access - a bus is the only way to stop that happening. Which in turn is going to be used to impose hefty "handling" costs.
One solution might be a separate "aeroclub" building with its own access, which is well distant from the areas frequented by both passengers and other airport workers. Remember that airport workers are often "on the inside" when it comes to dodgy stuff going on. Many of them steal everything they can from luggage as it is.
