Why are they rare?

There used to be suicide bombings in the news all the time. Hijackings were the reason they instituted the metal detectors at airports.

Improved security seems unlikely as a reason, given how many tests they fail. Was it just a fad? Did they decide it wasn't getting them what they wanted at a high personal cost? Did they find something more effective?
