What I've seen on the news about security in the underground was aimed mostly at the "normal" terrorists: people who want to leave bombs that explode later (i.e. non-suicide bombers). There's pretty much no way to leave a bag around without it being noticed.
...but, suicide bombers are different: they don't want to leave bombs behind, they *are* the bombs. There's pretty much no way of stopping them. If you were to discover them before they reach their destination, they'll simply (try to) blow themselves up where they are. The result will be death and destruction anyway.
I dunno how we could possibly stop them once they're on their way. Nothing except *very* itchy trigger fingers...
