a large part of the purpose of airport security is to protect uninvolved people on the ground

This was solved when they locked the cockpit doors. Every other airport security restriction has been an overreaction in my opinion.

I think you may be right. However, you'd have to convince the public (or at least Congress) before you could have "security free" flights even with secure cockpits.

We have "security free" flights today. The only difference is we will no longer have to wait in line.
