You miss my point. If it were harder to get the stuff onto the plane, those cases would not have happened. The more technology can show these materials, the safer we'll be. Respectful pat downs, scanners, searches, whatever. If I live through the flight, I'm happy.
TSA existed then, as did a lot of their regulations and rules. Didn't stop it. You're not going to catch everything either. Thankfully, we aren't dealing with the smartest bunch. Else they would have just corridinated a mass simultaneous attack on the TSA line at several major airports over busy travel holidays. You'd get a lot of folk that way. But with strip searches and aggressive, intrusive "pat downs" all you're doing is pissing into the wind. You're not going to catch more; it's already an insanely low probability to start with.
