The most cogent post on airline security so far, now up at Chase Me Ladies:

The point is that once again my enjoyment of the in-flight snack was marred by burning hatred of the airline, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the cast of Dr Doolittle 3 (the in-flight movie). Bin Laden I don’t mind so much. To me he’s just a nutter in a cave on the other side of the world. I don’t feel anything like the rancour towards him that I feel for the interfering old gusset-face who made me wait behind the yellow line until it was my turn to put my shoes in the x-ray machine. In fact, I quite like him.

Relatedly, here’s some convincing analysis showing that even if the current accused exploding-Yank-flights terrorists are for real, their attempts would certainly have failed - at best, they might have made a bit of a bang and put the aeroplane’s toilet out of use. Not everybody is impressed by that piece, but then not everybody isn’t a crack-addled halfwit.
