Now imagine being an Arab man trying to fly 
Everyone around you is on high alert watching your every move!
Its funny/sad watching people get on the edge of their seats as you go to the restroom or lean forward to grab a book or Ipod. As soon as you grab a beer or whiskey & coke they calm down
As mentioned before, with all of the flights in the air vs. # incidents I'd say you have a good chance of never running into that situation.
Hopefully no one ever will.

It seems US security is better than most of the foreign airports.
The TSA is nothing short of a joke. I could blow up 47 planes if I wanted to. They are all brainless idiots.
I fly a lot, and ALL over the world.
Let me ask you guys something?
Have you flown anywhere lately?
If not try this next time....
Buy a bottle of water, and a 12" sub from your favorite deli. Start with the flight boarding. Sooner or later down that line, the water is going to get taken away from you. However, your italian sub has a nice stick of TNT in it, or 5 1oz slices of C4, and you can waltz it right through.
On my last flight, I had 3 12" subs with me (I hate airplane food) and no one so much as made a peep about em. Furthermore, my flash battery for my Canon 580EXII is the size of a small laptop, and is lead/acid. XRAYS can't see through it. I have NEVER EVER been asked what it is. I also ALWAYS bring it in my carryon. It looks like a bomb, could blow up, and is heavy black metal. However, Poland Spring is a bigger threat.

I worry a lot more about getting taken out by some asshole with their cell phone up to their ear driving on the roads.
Advice: If you worry about this stuff and you just made a personal pact with the asshat terrorists suggesting they won.
Not me.

Saw a headline yesterday about how the brand new full body scanners at some airport found all illicit items on dummy passengers during a trial EXCEPT the nonfunctional bomb components. awesome. lol
