Then maybe TSA should relook its hiring standards.

Not necessarily; but eyebrows may justifiably rise in these situations, and given other variable inputs, they may get the secondory. Fair? No. But the country of origin critera makes much more sense than a one way ticket criteria.
Of course, if we had adaquate screening initially, there wouldn't be the need for secondary.

What airlines did they blow up? You've named two white american terrorists. Can you name any more? Screening may not catch every home-grown, anti-government, anti-abortion, anti-whatever nut; but that doesn't mean we should overlook the fact that a majority of aviation related terrorists happen to be from a particular region of the world and happen to be (in name only) followers of a particular religion.
