Airport "security" as in the pax-harrassment business is purely an empty theatrical statement that politicians are doing "everything humanly possible" to prevent an atrocity.
They know damn well that nothing short of positive profiling can have much impact at the point of boarding but they haven't the cojones to implement that so this will do as a slope shoulders exercise when the inevitable happens. Anyway, positive profiling would risk destabilising the entire "security" system itself in many airports, wouldn't it?
So they'll just walk away saying, "Well we did our best". and "It wasn't our fault." We can only hope that the competent anti terr authorities - ie GCHQ manage to beat the ex jobcentre harassment mafia into catching those that might otherwise be allowed to slip through...
The bereaved and the dead may disagree but the politicos will be nicely teflon coated.
