Security is a vital deterent against attack as well as an effective disrupter of terrorist plans.
Just this week ICAO adopted an unprecedented declaration on aviation security.
The 37th assembly of the organization held in Montréal, Canada, endorsed the ICAO Comprehensive Aviation Security Strategy (ICASS) and gave unanimous support for continuation of the Universal Security Audit Program (USAP).
This was in response to a botched terrorist attack on a U.S.-bound airliner on December 25, 2009 and because "As every airport offers a potential entry point into this global system, every nation faces the threat from gaps in aviation security throughout the world."
So expect to see more of the world mirroring the US and UK.
BTW I'm sure the Dutch Aviation Police are fed up of hauling transit passengers off aircraft that should never have been let on ion the first place.
