The joke that you described is exactly the same as I experienced in SCL the other day. One quick cursory glance in my roller and my backpack, and I was on my way. I could have had anything in there and it wouldn't have mattered. Total, utter Security Theater. Of course, when my items went through the normal x-ray machine at the regular security area, any credible threat items would have been discovered there.
