Maybe it helps him to *feel* more secure, rather than serving a practical purpose?

I can't help suspecting that terrorist groups, in general, have sufficient imagination to choose different types of target.

When I lived in Madrid I never got ID'd once despite having a foreign accent and being four shades paler than anyone born there..

That's entirely understandable.

Four shades darker, and you'd have had ID checked every half hour.

This time, they even picked an unexpected country to attack.

(I'm wondering, by the way, whether those threats a couple of weeks ago to plant bombs on the French rail network may have been a diversionary tactic to get applicable experts looking in the wrong direction before the Madrid attacks…)

Right now I think that things that make people feel more secure without actually making them any more secure are a rather bad idea... l-(
