Now that some hold baggage is checked it could be the thing to stop one stupid person trying to put explosives on a flight.
If they find 12 bottles of LSD you seriously think someone should get away with it?

Yes.
According to your profile location, I'll assume you don't understand how our legal system works up here and why there is a huge difference between an administrative search and a criminal search.
Intelligent Americans do not give up their Constitutional rights or civil liberties to make it easier for the government to catch criminals - the government only gets to look for and catch criminals inside of the restrictions we put on them.
The police have other means and opportunities to find the drugs - an administrative search at an airport is not one of them.
