The one thing I can think of is that the McDonald's at MHT is both before and beyond security (two seating areas, and in the kitchen, employees from the non-sterile side pass the food over to the sterile side through an open window, which might be monitored by camera but isn't scanned or anything. So you can send things over to the sterile side, with no metal detector or liquid security, if you put it in a McDonald's bag. That requires, of course, that you first get a job at McDonald's at MHT...and so I think security in hiring there is an issue. But for restaurants that are completely before security it's not as big a deal IMO.
