If a new layer of security was implemented, say, having the TDC scribble on the boarding pass, the country's aircraft could again be safe.
Um.... Except that the TDC might get suspicious from seeing so many sets of initials on the boarding pass and might whistle up a little SSSSpecial treatment.

Would require multiple printouts of the boarding pass.

Also, leaving property unattended in the secure area is not allowed, so there would have to be a companion remaining inside each time or throughout.

Good thing the bad guys only have one sheet of paper each, then.

And it's a good thing that the bad guys never work in teams or (even better) have access to an airport lounge where (hate to let TSA know this), people leave bags unattended all the time.

Yeah, nearly impossible to pull this one off...
