Here's treat for you. On line boarding passes can be forged. In
about 20 minutes I can make a very authentic looking boarding pass.
It won't get me on the plane, but it will get me to the gate. I own a
ceramic knife with not a speck of metal in it. Tape it to my leg and
tape a sausage on top of it and I'll pass any pat down in the world
outside of El Al.
And explosives are easy enough to get through security. Testers do it
all the time.
Forgery is part of terrorism. And the current system does nothing to
prevent it.
