How many people have posted here that one cannot hijack a plane with a knife anymore? You can't blame the IAA for letting him onboard with something he couldn't hijack the plane with.
The only blame I'm attaching is to Bloomberg and anyone else who:
a) advocates Israeli-style security for the US
b) uses inaccurate statements while doing so.
In fact I doubt anyone could hijack (as in take command of) any flight any longer, although explosives are an ongoing risk. Which is why I disagree with profiling, BDO voodoo, 20 questions or anything else which distracts from (and adds nothing to) the primary purpose of security - keeping dangerous
materials off airplanes.

Expansion of empire and aggrandizement of staff. If you mean security-wise though, nothing, absolutely nothing y'all.
