Passengers getting off both U.S. domestic flights and those arriving from overseas reported being told that they couldn’t get out of their seat for the last hour of their flight. ... What will they do after, say, a burka-clad woman boards the flight with breast impants packed with plastic explosives?
The bizarre restrictions the government is placing on airline passengers are futile.
No!Playing the game this way lets the terrorists set the rules and forces us to react defensively to every innovation. What difference does it make whether the plot succeeds? After all, long after Richard Reid has died of old age in prison, we'll still be removing our footwear in eternal homage to the thwarted shoebomber.
The arithmetic is very simple: Can we regulate for all faster than they can adapt for some?
Is this the best that the super-smart people who are "the ones we were waiting for" can do?

Somebody better tell the terrorists that they have to attack us in the last hour of their flight if they want to be foiled, the rest of the flight they have the freedom to do what they want. On second thought, I think they already know. I'm sure they watch the news.
