Even if you completely buy into everything the Bush Administration has ever said about terrorism, this is just insanely stupid and incompetent. And, if you don't... it's right in line with every other damn thing.

The most vulnerable point on the plane has nothing to do with the airframe - there are soft, squishy people in that cockpit, and the plane goes down without them. Cockpit doors are reinforced against small-arms fire, but a good explosive against that door probably still spells doom for the plane....

Though, of course, you are correct. Turning the thing into a flying coffin would probably be extremely effective.
