There is another way to look at it. They supposedly have specific intel that a certain individual on the flight might be a terrorist. Yet they are going to let him board, but place an armed man on the plane to shoot him if he trips on his way to the restroom.
If I were the pilot under the circumstances, I would cancel the flight.

What is the down side to that scenario?

actually, fox had an el al security person tonight who said that was exactly what should be done. place squads on the flights and intercept the event. I don't think I am in favor of that, because all that has to happen is for the bomber to get into the lavatory and its game over. that scenario may work with regards to a hijack attempt, but not a bomber.
