It's not just in the area of airport security. That change has also taken place in the way the US federal government views the citizens. Hence the scanning of the citizens' communications, both phone and email, economic transactions, web activity, reaching down to monitor local levels via the fusion centers, and the beginnings of video monitoring/facial recognition infrastructure.
We are all potential threats until proven otherwise. I fail to see any real grounds for any of it.
