You obviously know nothing about Europeans. Europeans's don't have the "real security" that you think they do. What you are referring to is the great charade of security that they put on to impress we American's with how difficult they can make our lives playing by TSA rules. I once watched as they turned an American inside out and upside down, and then announced that they knew that he worked for TSA and hoped that he was sufficiently impressed by their thoroughness(I was behind him in line).
You see, what you might not understand is that a lot of the rest of the world does not think that security rests on idiots waving badges and guns trying to intimidate everyone. For the most part Europeans believe that real secuirty is the result of intensive field investigative work to identify bad guys. It is amazing how fast they find someone when something bad does happen. Have you ever wondered why?
One thing that the European's don't do is tell me I am going to be found guilty at a jury trial merely because I traveled with a kid's toy which upon close inspection turns out to be a kid's toy, which is the idiotic comment to which I was responding.
I've been traveling through European airports since long before there was a TSA. And yes, the security is real - try it some time.

You really are provincial, aren't you. (Hint: most of Europe doesn't do jury trials.)
Have you really ever taken a scheduled airline flight?

Back in 98 at the Frankfurt Airport I saw a security guard standing in the entrance of a restricted area. He was holding what looked like an M4 Carbine. It sure the hell looked like “Real Security.”
