Doesn't make sense, does it?
There's already reports that flight crews are requiring no in-lap anything for the last hour of the flight (the original rule was 10 minutes) and that there's additional screening on domestic flights.
That's pushing it. The story as it stands now is that the suspect was on a Lagos-Nigeria-Amsterdamn-Denver trip. He went through Nigerian security and passed it, with a valid passport and US visa. He was rescreened again at the boarding gate of the Nigeria-Amsterdamn flight. There was no rescreening in Amsterdamn; he boarded Northwest 253 and tried to blow himself up 30 minutes outside of Denver.
And now they want to up internal security inside the US?!? When the threat was OUTSIDE?!?
Now, granted, we've been ramping security up over time; Southwest here in BWI has sniffer booths that detect chemical explosives, something that could have detected this guy. A sudden push isn't going to help TSA's own public image.
( So, mind if I suggest a few things? )
