They don't; there's supposed to be a police background check done. And these schemes make the assumption that a potential terrorist is going to be hanging around the airport perimeter for extended periods. Unlikely IMO - the bad guys are much more interested in what goes on in the
terminal or in finding a remote site for loosing off a SAM.
These programs do no harm I suppose; don't see that they do any good though.
