See, here's the part I don't understand at all

Mail bomb plot shows lax cargo, parcel security - Yahoo! News

LONDON – The discovery of U.S.-bound mail bombs on cargo planes in England and Dubai reveals the vulnerability of air shipping...

That's sort of like saying...

The fact that the flotation device saved you from drowning just shows how dangerous those devices are.

It makes no friggin' sense. The discovery and apparent thwarting of our annual just-before-election-day scary terrorist plot shows how good security is, doesn't it? But it must be in the official journalist's handbook that every terrorist thing has to be, well, terrifying. Or maybe it's just Halloween.

If they're really so worried about the air security thing, why don't they just ban airplanes and be done with it?
