This is true for fanatic terrorism. But there are other threats, from more politically based terrorism, where suicide bombings are less common, to things like extortion.

Seems much easier to just bribe an airport worker "Hey buddy, I'll give you $5000 if you put this bag of "drugs" on flight 1234"
- davrosthedalek 9y agoThey always have this option. The balance you have to find is: After how long of a wait is the benefit for society of being able to leave without removal of the luggage worth it compared to the enlarged risk of attacks. It clearly isn't "you can do this all the time", because then you would not need to pay the 5000$, or have the risk that that buddy rats you out. I'm not sure I want to be responsible to find the right amount of time.
