At the same time, these security checks do create places where 200+ people gather close together in an area where it is totally reasonable for someone to be wheeling around a 35-lbs un-checked bag.

So maybe we don't need airport security at all. Just have the air force ready to shoot down rogue commercial planes before they reach densely populated areas. It happened in China. Muslim terrorists attacked hundreds of people waiting in a ticket hall. No need to go through security.
