Agree with the posts thus far.
Sadly, the Horse bolted the day those people drove aircraft into the Twin Towers.
The "care factor" for many of the Security Personnel at Airports that I walk past is very low indeed ( though I hardly blame them-what a job !)
The only way to stop "these people" from trying to blow up passenger aircraft is to screen everybody via SECURITY PROFILING ..........BEFORE THEY CLICK "ACCEPT TO PURCHASE" ON THEIR E-TIX.
Hell-Big Brother is all around us-watching. Bank Accounts, Mobile Phone use-pin points your locations, Tax Dept ( Carmody -take note !) So :

All Governments love scaring the masses. It gets them votes. For this crowd to spend $200m over 5 years on Body Scanners etc is laughable. I notice QF came out and supported ( yeah -because they weren't putting up the cash !) Think BIG PICTURE -boys and girls.
Terrorists are not dumb.
They have lots of money.
They already have runs on the board ( and a few run outs
)
Profiling is the only way to go to rid us of this constant threat.
