Mate, it's security theatre. Nothing more.
Note well how even the USA, the home of Sep 11, with their water bottle paranoia and nudie scanners, never bothered with the likes of an ASIC.
I've waited up to 2 months in the past, and at the time I was a Commonwealth public servant and held a fairly high level security clearance so it can't have been too hard to figure out that I was of half decent character.
