I think after what happened they're trying to look meticulous, failing in many cases :p
But I think in some coutries the security system of the airports was very meticulous also before Sept. 11. I had many experiences and in some cases I was shocked by controls over passengers and so on.
So, you're right: some cases are just ridiculous, but probably in many airports the security was a lot better than the one in the airports you're talking about, and that means now they don't have to be so silly about desperate controls and be a pain for passengers too.
