I curse him. I guarantee you no one will ever blow up a commercial airline with a bomb in his shoe, and this guy has sufficiently slowed airport check-ins in increments not appropriate to his scheme.
It's mass hysteria and everyone follows along. He shouldn't have even been LET on the airplane....Christ! He LOOKED freekin nuts!
And has anyone tested a bomb like his to see if it actually would LIGHT?
Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of women can't travel now with their nail files and eye-tweezers since 9/11. Fat, old, young...you name it. What about ball point pens? Why not them? They are sweating the small stuff, if you ask me.
They have all these screeners nickel and diming everyone for the small shit while I bet you ANY money the security for the baggage handlers out on the tarmac is lame, lame, lame....
