Would it have hurt too much to have linked to a real civil aviation news site like the Aviation Herald for your running realtime summary of developments, rather than a generic mass media news site run by non-specialists?
(It's about as useful as linking to the BBC for news of a new OS vulnerability, rather than CERT, or even The Register.)

Personal observation: I flew through KUL on Malaysian last year, and was very unimpressed by security: it was cursory in the extreme and if I remember correctly out passports weren't electronically captured on entry or departure. Reports of someone using a stolen Italian passport being among the passenger manifest are a bit worrying (although some sort of mechanical failure is far more likely than terrorism).
