Not discounting a human aspect to this but it also could be the act of one de ranged individual who boarded the aircraft with nothing more than a personal agenda.
Not necessarily - the success of the deed and the option to use the same procedure again may have changed some minds. Recall the underwear bomber - determined to have sufficient explosive to bring an aircraft down but couldn't properly get the 'fuse lit'. So added security procedures were implemented. That became a use once throw away tactic. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Edit: Maybe I'm thinking of the shoe bomber.
