I've watched a couple of documentaries on airport security, one done by the Fifth Estate in Canada, and all of the measures being put into place aren't really doing anything. Most airport security personnel have only 2-5 hours worth of training. If you do some research on people whose job it is to test airport security by acting as a dangerous passenger, you'll find that an overwhelming number of them are able to get through no problem.
On the Fifth Estate, a man hired by the show was able to guess, within 20 tries, the password to the door for the secured area. He discovered that the password was the same for every door in the airport. In a separate test, he blew up an old car in his backyard using explosive materials and positioned some clothing in proximity to collect the bomb dust. He then wore those clothes through security and there was VISIBLE debris on his clothes. They let him in. This was at security check for those entering U.S. airspace, at Toronto Pearson International, Canada's biggest international hub.
It is more realistic to think of airport security in terms of capitalism and profiteering. Private security companies who manufacture the technology for airports (like the overpriced body scanners) make huge sums of money every year. I mean, look at the incident with the underwear bomber. Within DAYS (not even a week) of that happening, the government was rolling out body scanners in most major airports.
"Security" and "your safety" are code words for "we are going to profit on your fear"; all the while, privacy violations are becoming common place. At the same time, unless every person is getting a cavity search, there is no way to stop it from happening. The best thing we can do is have armed air marshals on board planes.
