Ok, then explain it to my simple mind. Why is it impossible that the Imams might have gotten anything through security, but possible for her.

One of your main arguments on the other thread is that we must rely on the screening process, and if they got on the plane, then we have to assume they have nothing with them that they could use to cause trouble. That if anybody complains, they should be kicked off because they are failing to rely on the security screening.

That's obviously paraphrasing, but you said it enough times that I think I managed to grasp the gist of it.
