If your goal is to find the extremely rare to nonexistent case of someone trying to put a bomb on the plane in their luggage, yes.
If your goal is to find the extremely rare to nonexistent case of someone trying to put a bomb in the crowded area of the airport to create the maximum number of casualties and injuries, then maybe not too late, but likely a total waste of time. But, when does that matter?
If your goal is to find someone with drugs in their suitcase, then no, it is not too late or a waste of time, at least to local law enforcement. The libertarian in me says to leave people the heck alone, but that is not the way many LEO's think.
