The problem with airport security and the TSA is that they only prevent idiots and lazy people from bringing hazardous things onto a flight. If terrorists were idiots or lazy, they wouldn't have successful plans that so precisely exploit the vulnerabilities they do.
Anybody who's serious about causing harm and is capable of doing a little research can cause some level of harm. Everybody who's not serious (i.e. their possessions fit the "dangerous" criteria by coincidence) is required to jump through hoops.
