The whole security thing at airports is a farce. It's clearly just a case of the authorities having to be seen to do 'something' while having no effect other than inconveniencing and humiliating bona fide travellers. Do they really imagine any self respecting terrorist is now going to attempt wander through with all his evil kit?
The real answer would be that we should ensure we are seen as a state you really don't want to mess with.
Ever.
