Ehh, I mean it's good to be aware of things like this, but I see them more as the people who ruin things for everyone. Because of one foiled plot where a group tried to fly with liquid explosives[1], nobody is ever allowed to carry liquids through security onto planes. Because one person tried to detonate explosives in their shoes on a plane, we have to take off shoes in security[2]. I don't think either of those changes got us measurably close to flying "securely" but it make countless people miss flights, even more miserable, and encourage copycats.
