That's a much better response than my usual comeback to a logical fallacy:
Me: <looks at other person's clothes> Do you have the Ebola virus?
Person: Uh, no.
Me: And you're wearing blue jeans. What do you know, blue jeans prevent the Ebola virus!
Actually, here's a way to spin that Christmas Day remark. Under private security, we had 0 underwear bomb plots. Under TSA, we had 1; TSA failed to prevent it and had no hand in stopping it. In other words, we're worse under TSA than private security.
