I've never understood this. Why should the terrorists care whether we have to undergo increased security or not? In THEIR minds, I'm sure this has nothing to do with whether they consider themselves to have won or not. I mean, do you really think Osama Ben Laden cares whether we have to go through an X-ray machine?
In their minds, they will have won when we are either all dead, or all devout Muslims.

Definitely OBL cares whether you go through an "X" Ray machine or not. Terrorism ensures economic penalties as well as mortal . Create terror and you increase expenditure on security.
