Real security solves that problem. Security theater only works until everyone realizes that it's fake and isn't working. We've seen for years now, journalists writing about how easy it is to get on planes with supposedly banned materials.
I don't know about other folks, but I'm more disturbed by the number of resources devoted to this security theater, than comforted by it. I'd much rather see a focus on better inter-bureau communication and intelligence gathering.
Raising the "threat level" to "Orange" for political purposes, as we saw during the last presidential term can't possibly solve any real problems.

Real security is not really possible anyway - not without profiling, which people won't accept and not without spending far more resources on security - and if you are disturbed now, imagine if spending goes up tenfold. I agree the "threat level" is a joke though.
