They put the emphasis on phychological behavior of the people crowding in the airport, the selectors are well trained to pick the person from the crowd who may potentially hint for an undesired activity, not necesserely the one with camera hanging off his neck...The improtant factor is the intelligence information they constantly are supplied from the appropriate government/military services regarding the potentially harmful faces, learn these faces and then look for these in the crowd. Having said that, lately I noticed they also begun hard way by hand searching throughh the luggage of higher percentage of the passangers then they used to in the past....
