Next time I'm planning large-scale terrorism in the US, I'll make sure to bring some Osama candy then so they'll assume I'm an idiot and let me go.

You're making a joke, but this whole story does suggest that it might be good strategy to send a few "red flag" passengers along with the actual terrorist that is careful to appear as a "conforming" passenger. false positives hide real positives.

it does make you wonder to what extent such decoys have been accounted for in the overall security strategy.
