I don't think a full "pat down" will do anything to stop them, truthfully. They will continue to find ways of creating bombs, etc with ordinary things.

I see the main problem with our security measures are that they are reactionary, rather than preventative. We wait until something happens, then react to it, putting out new security measures after the fact. I think we need people to try to figure out ways to prevent things from happening and work from there, although how we can decide what people "might" do and prevent it is beyond me. Definitely not my area of expertise!
