I agree totally.
The new measures have nothing to do with security, and everything to do with giving the "powers that be" the mere impression that they are still in control; and with creating a submissive mindset among the populace.
Sadly enough, they didn't even need to create a submissive mindset among the populace, so many have been perfectly willing to be searched and frisked right from the start. They might fuss a little about it, maybe because of the delays but they'll just spread their arms and legs and let themselves be felt out and smile because they feel a little safer in their federal agents loving hands.
