The goal is not to stop the people in the queue being attacked, its to stop someone boarding a plane with the means to hijack it

They fail gloriously at at that too.

Whenever they get tested the red teams manage to smuggle in everything needed to hijiack a plane plus a kitchen sink.

The few times that terrorists tried to board planes, they made it through security and were caught by other passengers.

Yeah, and you don't need the TSA for that. Just do as they already do: lock the cockpit.

They had to do something about the plague of people hijacking planes with bottles of water.

IIRC water happens to appear similarly to a lot of explosives on the metric they use for what the composition of items in the scanner is.

Improvements are being made though so soon we may be allowed to take water through unrestricted:
