I wouldn't expect to be able to wander around with a replica bomb (a theater prop, say) in broad daylight and not be challenged by the people whose job it is to stop bomb attacks. The same would have applied, say, ten years ago, although obviously I can't prove this.
I'd agree that over-sensitive security staff can be a problem, but I don't agree that they were being over-sensitive in this case.
