There has been a lot of speculation on the motivations of the most recent Times Square bomber. Along with all that there have been additional calls for more aviation security measures. Some of these measures make sense, like constantly checking passenger name records against the no fly list. It has also been pointed out that the no fly list is not exactly perfect. This is true.
What is of concern right now are those who wish to turn this event into a aviation security issue. It is clearly not.
What we have experienced is a shortsighted person who suddenly wished to do harm to others in a big way, this time not involving an aircraft. As a result we need not panic over aviation security but instead should concentrate on identification of those who wish to do harm and get that word out to all who would benefit from knowing about it.
We have done enough to kill off airlines. They are not to blame this time.
