I think that an abundance of caution is warranted as well.

I think the author made a good point that some of these incidents may very well have been casings or probings that should not be dismissed easily. Why not document these suspicious acts & have a group study them to see if they might point to a weakness that could be exploited?

Perhaps in cases when Air Marshal's & flight attendants have been concerned they could detain these people long enough to get some answers & learn who they are (kept in a classified file to protect their privacy). After all they did act suspiciously on a flight which seems to create enough probable cause to look into the matter. And it's not like the flying public could plausibly claim they were unaware of heightened concerns that terrorists want to use airplanes to commit acts of terrorism & that they did trial runs before they acted.
