We still have nothing but security theater - and it's only by a wing and a prayer we've avoided disaster and mayhem so far.
There are so few of the sniffers that it's very easy to avoid them. For example, at DCA, you can avoid the sniffer if you avoid the right-most line at the NW/YX terminal. That line, incidentally, is the line that's often designated for elites.
