Schneier says that security worked in this case, because passengers subdued the bomber. But as others point out, that only worked because the bomber screwed up.

Schneier says that security worked in this case, because passengers subdued the bomber. But as others point out, that only worked because the bomber screwed up. And it was only an issue because the bomber was allowed on the plane, with a bomb; let's not forget that. Now the TSA may be considering restricting people to their seats in the last hour, with nothing on their lap. (Does that mean no blankies too?) I eagerly await the first no-tolerance arrest, when a passenger leaves his seat against regulations in the last hour to subdue a bomber.
