The linked CBS story is all about "laptop bombs" but completely glosses over the other part of the story - a senior, trusted official with total access to the airport smuggled a bomb in through security and passed it off to a compatriot.

Naturally, since a bomb was smuggled in by a trusted person who bypassed passenger screening, TSA is now increasing passenger screening in an attempt to prevent a repeat of this incident in the US.

Which is kind of like fining the fans at a football game when a player on the field commits a rule violation. Or shooting your dog when a bird drops something on your windshield. Or divorcing your wife when your place of work loses a large contract. Or firing your night janitor when your daytime cashier absconds with funds. Or banning popcorn at a movie theater because people have been talking on their phones during the film.

But that's TSA for you. They face every new possible threat with the exact same response: treat passengers worse, abuse more passenger rights, violate more passenger bodies, make passengers more miserable. Because passengers, as we all know, are the one and only possible threat to an aircraft.
