"We're keeping the terrorists off balance" would be the reply to expect.

Sooner or later, one of these fanatics (the terrorists, not the TSA in this case) is going to shove some explosives where the sun don't shine. Then what?

"We got that bottled water off the planes and all those shoes are good."

I'd love to see Bart's perspective as well, but I suspect that he's seething somewhere in SAT, trying not to react publicly to this round of idiocy.
