With all armchair quarterbarking, the legitimacy of the criticism is inversly proportional to the vehemence and arrogance with which it is given. What is so funny about this post is that this guy has no idea what is really going on at the department. Why - because it is top secret. Yet does he use any qualifier when he makes his criticisms such as: "clearly there is information I am not privey to, but it seems....". Like with most arrogant punidits he is working with ten percent of the information at best, but act likes he knows everything. Pathetic.
Until not too long ago, he worked in counterterrorism at the CIA, so I suspect he knows just a little more than your average pundit. Or you, for that matter.

If it made sense to suddenly ban people from carrying liquids onto planes yesterday, it made sense to do it -- or something more tailored and useful -- before that.
