So some of the new rules for flights includes not standing an hour before landing and not having blankets across one's lap. People were also told to keep their hands in plain sight.

The attempted bomber which prompted these rules was a known extremist who got through a foreign airport with a bomb in his pants.

So instead of a first response of having intelligence agencies get on the same page and increased bomb detecting equipment at airport boarding areas the new rules made it even tougher for grandma to bring shampoo to her destination.

Anyone else concerned by this?

Just saying. Now leave the pop tart in the toaster and walk away.
