"Non Americans find this absurd level of security hilarious, given that every 9/11 plane was on an internal flight."

They're not trying to prevent 9/11... it already happened. They claim to be responding to some intel they have about a new threat using bombs built into laptops. Whether you believe them is another thing completely, but that's what they're claiming. Of course it's ridiculous... most people in the US find it so too, I'd say, but no one ever asked us if we wanted this.

"We find Trumps travel bans on even more hilarious given the #1 source of the terrorist was Saudi Arabia."

They're not trying to prevent 9/11... it already happened. Those countries were Obama's list of countries that represent the greatest threat to the US at the present time, according to the current intel.
