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.
