ASFlyer,
A security breach is never good but a terrorist needs a solid belief that he will succeed at a specific time and place not that a metal detector failed for an hour. The terrorists would not know in advance that it was going to be broke at a specific time and be able to take advantage of that knowledge.

Exactly, robvberg. No one trains for a year to die for their beliefs if they figure there is an 80% chance that they will just go to jail for a long time from airport security instead.
