As for the virtues of European airport security, remember that European countries have only a handful of airports at most, not the thousand as we have here, each feeding into others.

What's that got to do with anything??? An excellent system is an excellent system - not that I would say Europe has an excellent system, merely a good one, versus the U.S., which has a poor one - and the number of small airports has nothing to do with it.
When you design a system properly, it will not matter how big it is, scale is secondary.
And you won't get into the secure area of an airport in Germany by running through an unguarded exit, by the way.
