It's one area where punishment might actually serve as a deterrent. I really am all for holding public servants to very strict standards, not least where security is concerned.
If it were common knowledge that your cavalier disregard of prescribed rules would see you on the street within ten minutes of it being discovered, I'm sure it would sharpen the attention of some, and get rid of others.
