Does anyone but me think that airport security is a joke?

I can think of about 100 different ways that if I was a terrorist I could blow up planes and many people at the airport
1)Use an RPG and wait in a place where planes fly by low, like those industrial areas near the airport
2)Douse a towel with liquid explosive and a metal or plastic coffe container take on board toss it in the toilet and don't flush then throw in a zippo in one of those nice transatlantic flights mid way where there is nowhere to land and that plane is blown up.
3)Carry dust explosive on your person and a zippo, then have a container in your bag, put them together in the washroombring it back out and sit next to the airplane wing and them bam, the whole plane is on fire.
4)Just take two full size luggage bags with fertilzers which I won't name, or another commercial explosive and bring into the line where everyone is trying to get by, you know that real busy line with like 1000 people in it, where everyone is runing late an hour before a flight, then detonate it using a grenade, or shooting at it, or a remote controlled explosive.
5)Fill a u-hall up with explosive and drive it through the front of the airport and detonate
6)Drive a 18 wheeler full of explosive through the airport gates at a plane 5 minutes before departure and blow it up on the ground.

I'm not even a terrorist, and I discourage anyone from giving or using this information to harm others, but I'm just trying to show that airport security could be a lot stricter.
Edit, no one goes through your luggage unless something appears which cannot be seen through.
Also no one pats you down and carrying a zippo is allowed
 
Something that I've noticed when I've flown from here (Scotland) to America, or back, my luggage always gets screened physically. As in someone always goes through my actual luggage and I always open it to a flyer on top of my stuff telling me someone riffled through my stuff. But, when I've flown within America, they don't check.

So, if my luggage is physically looked through and not just x-rayed, 3 of your list aren't possible.

The zippo lighter...where are you putting that? Maybe that's just America but you're certainly not allowed that in carry on here, your jacket/cardie, pretty much anything with sleeves comes off and is checked, and I think a zippo would bulge a little depending on the trousers.

And 5 and 6...That's been done here, well, attempted here... and that's when you see society, regular civilians save the day.
 
Have you ever had a mental evaluation?

I'm sure they have heard these ideas before, and have found ways around them.
