telling me they have a bomb/grenade/kalasnikov etc in their bags and they think it is so funny, yet they cry like children when they are in the cells.

It's the sign at the front of your line. "All Morons must stop here first".

Something about your name says you don't work at a UK airport. But I'll humor you.
Most likely people will make that joke to break the ice that sits in airports today. When I was travelling between Kansas City and Indianapolis last summer, it was awkward being in front of security. They looked at me with such scrutiney and sterness that I felt like I was doing something wrong/offending someone. And of course putting everything into a tray (taking off my belt, shoes, wristwatch, etc), I felt like I was being mugged.
So when people joke, its probably to lighten the mood. Hell, I nearly freaked out and ran when 5 more security guards showed up at the terminal I was in (they looked like a out-of-uniform SWAT team). There were already 15 at the one terminal alone.

It's a new system at the airports where they try to assign guards to check those passengers with the same IQs (as the guards).
p.s. I didn't really think that "as the guards" was necessary, but then I considered my audience.
