On another thread someone suggested that Muslim travelers were 'messing with our heads.' That in itself in another form of terrorism. You know, if we impose multiple stringent inspections at the airport, we should be able to enforce basic rules of behavior while on board an airplane in flight. Such rules could prohibit behaviors which suggest terrorist activity or are otherwise disruptive, and would cover all travelers, not just Muslims. There have been a few cases of bizarrely disruptive passengers within recent memory who have been detained and questioned.

I know it's a pain-in-the-@$$, but the recent spate of delays,
flight detainments and diversions are a GOOD thing.
It's telegraphing to the terrorists and even the "civil disobedience"
types that making a scene will at least get you detained awhile
and scrutinized a bit.
If anything, I suspect this is ticking off the Jihadis that really
do want to do damage.
The crew AND passengers are on such a hair-trigger that all
threats (real or assumed) are getting smacked down.
A pain-in-the@$$? Yes. But it's a low-cost part of being at war
with a domineering bunch of jerks that have been on the warpath
since the fifth century AD.
