More thorough checks at the decks are meant to prevent larger explosions (think OK City), possibly involving multiple vehicles, than what you see suicide bombers doing.

Why is this so hard to see?

Um, jim, OKC was deliverd not by parking in the deck ... but by driving up on the front
side of the bldg. (think driving up to the terminal) and walking away. So drive up not park close is the method used today. And often (think Middle East here) the driver isn't concerned with getting away like Timothy McV.

Why is that so hard for to see?

To be consistant we should check all vehicles approaching the terminal ... but it is just not practicle. Closing the garages was reactionary, and done by beurocrats who need to give the appearance of doing something, no matter how inane. Though Common sense should have returned long ago, let be thankful it returned at all ... there is an election coming up soon, you know.
