First plan: no airport at all, which is bound to happen sooner or later 
anyway since there is no alternative to fossile fuels that I know of for 
flying a plane.

If you build up the security level to the point that no terrorist passes 
through, I doubt you'll be left with many willing customers either. 
Remember that anything allowing you to take something that you swallowed 
on board without examination can probably be exploited. Not to mention 
the possibility of attacking the plane from the ground...

Designing airports to be more secure than they are now is not necessary 
anyway. Even if you could prevent all terrorist attacks on planes, you'd 
have to take care of all the other means of transportation (trains come 
to mind). I'm already surprised that the bad guys don't focus on easier 
targets now.
