Let's face it, security is pretty much non-existent in this world. If someone wants to do something and is willing to die to do it, that individual is nigh impossible to stop without a lot of luck. Ask any Secret Service agent trying to protect our POTUS (and I don't think there is better security anywhere in the world than that).

On the plus side, this can show the weaknesses at the Brooklyn Bridge and help make corrections (until the next stunt). Personally, rather than condemning the individuals who flew these flags, I think we should give them a hat's off and a big thanks for giving the NYPD, et al., a chance to improve security and showing at least one weakness.
