It's not a good column. This column doesn't acknowledge real threats and you won't get anywhere until you acknowledge real threats. You have to admit that it is possible for a wheelie, granny or a kid to unknowingly transport plastic explosives on board an airplane if you want to equally complain that screwdrivers, matches, etc don't need to be banned.

If this guy had written a fair and unbiased article, it could have helped. Columns like this will get thrown in the trash bin by the players in DC and it gives those of us fighting the TSA a bad name. It's worse than useless.
