It's all a fake felling of security.

The metal detectors you have to go through detect metal but not any plastic explosive you might carry in your pocket. 500 gram of plastic explosive can do the job.

But wait people just to be tricked in thinking that they are safe. I always compare this with isreal. The is police of other security on every corner of the street, people are carefull and yes sometimes they catch a suicide bomber before he can explode. That said it they wanted they can have a suicide attack every day with succes. There is no such thing as total secirty and rules like you have to register for a sim just give a false idea of security.

It might just be that the government wants to have control and is just using terrorim as an excuus.
