A bit OT: "Swedish police are still questioning a man on suspicion of planning to hijack"
Why are we spending all this money screening for guns and box cutters? The only good thing that came out of 9-11 may be that we don't have to worry about those weapons anymore. Nobody can bring down or hijack a plane with such a weapon after 9-11, unless you are very familiar with the wiring of that particular aircraft. Explosives may still be a threat but they are kind of imprecise if you want to hit something symbolical e.g a "US embassy in Europe". A terrorist, in search of a place to make a statement, must prefer a mall to an airplane, I would guess. Maybe we're too focused on airplanes.
