i think the fact that blowing up planes would likely had a bad impact on the economy of southern Ireland had a lot to do with them not blowing up planes and that they didnt often commit suicide attacks was as big a factor as the security which was more aimed in any case on tracking where they were and where they were going
and a again wasnt a big airport in real terms
if you just want to stop walk on bombers the best option is as i said get every one to strip put them in the white crime scene suits and give them back their stuff at the other end
those like me who need meds etc would need to arrange in advance for meds to be on plane
