"The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) doesn’t exactly have a stellar record of protecting passengers from crazed terrorists. In most cases it was the passengers themselves, as in the shoe bomber and the skivvies bomber, who subdued the terrorists and brought them to justice. And a good case could be made that the terrorists’ own incompetence offers greater protection against catastrophic atrocities than the work of the TSA, whose only concern seems to be to make absolutely sure that in searching for crazies that would immolate themselves along with a plane full of innocents, that everyone is equally inconvenienced. If I were an al Qaeda chieftain, I’d call what the TSA is doing “victory.”"
