A Little Glitch in Airline Security

Tom Wagner was Left Behind on a United-ExpressJet plane on the first leg of his flight from Lafayette, LA to California.  The flight stopped in Houston and Wagner was left on the plane, snoozing away.  The aircraft was shut down  and locked  with him inside.   He woke up to a cold, dark deserted cabin, wondering what happened.  United put him up in a hotel, and he eventually made his way to California, but his predicament left many questions.

If a person could be left on a plane, what about a package, containing a bomb, etc?   It does not look good for airport security.  Perhaps more attention and resources should be allocated  to the simpler measures rather than the extensive groping provided by the TSA.
