That’s the point of the exploit…it’s predicated on the mindset “no, way… that’s TOO easy!”. It’s a false sense of security based solely on making people too scared to try it rather than an actual fail safe security measure. The threat is black, the background is black. Keep threat in background and not in front of body and you’re through.
It’s staggering no one saw this glaring flaw.

Someone did see the garing flaw.
“I don’t know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines. I can overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747. That’s why we haven’t put them in our airport.”—Rafi Sela, leading Israeli airport security expert, referring to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport, which has some of the toughest security in the world

I’ve flown in, and out, of Ben Gurion. We flew from SLC to ATL, and out of ATL to Tel Aviv. After arriving at ATL, and going through all the standard security, we had to go through another security station that was set up right before our gate, manned by Ben Gurion’s own security staff. They were easily the most strict security screeners I’ve ever seen. I brought some food that I had just purchased while walking through the airport, and they actually opened my container and checked in and under the food inside it. The day we flew into Tel Aviv, there had been a suicide bombing in the city, so they were understandably cautious.
