The wannabe "terrorist" was denied residency/asylum in Norway and deported sans police escort since he was considered non-dangerous. Just one of those things.

But it *is* just one of those things. Couldn't have been predicted or prevented. Nobody hurt in the end. Sometimes crap happens. We can't foolproof the works.
It also demonstrates how past experiences have shaped how things unfolded: the hijacker didn't get into the flight deck and was instead overpowered. Past experience has clearly taught passengers and airlines well.
So yes, it's one of those things.

That's precisely what a lot of things are: just one of those things.
These days there seem to be no accidents, mistakes or oddballs. Everything is a cause for litigation and endless investigation.
Sometimes crap just happens.
And in this case when crap happened, it was dealt with thanks to past experience.
How would *you* have stopped this incident? Demanded a psychiatric assessment of each deportee? Send a policeman with each deportee? At great expense to prevent a nonincident, whereby nothing happened because there was, thanks to past experience, very little more that could happen?
This was little more than someone having a paddy midair.

It shows accurately that airport security is NO DEFENCE against a hijacker. However it will probably be used by those who cower in fear that we must INCREASE our efforts to make airport security even tougher.
