Yep, but they are still checking if you don't happen by chance to have with you a bomb (or actually even a pair of tiny scissors or a small cutter).

While the bomb might be a chance greater than 0.00001%, the scissors should be far less dangerous.

That's the government. Their goal is to convince you that the government is doing something to make you safe. To accomplish that, they run big, obvious security screenings. The airlines, left to their own devices, wouldn't bother.
