I stand corrected and apologize for the assumption. Thank you for clearing those details up.

We were not permitted to stand-up during the two-hour delay, much less leave the plane. The flight attendants were very clear we were not to move. Somehow, that would have constituted a security threat.
At any rate, I think your mistake is assuming that Delta is not at all responsible for securing their planes. Even if I could have gotten off the plane, which I highly doubt, it does not mitigate Delta's responsibility. They were aware of the situation and allowed the people to board anyway.

Another wrong assumption on my part. I had no idea they kept you on the plane while they did this search. However after the search was over you could, and probably should, have exited the plane. If you truly believed that your safety was seriously compromised by the actions, or inaction, of the TSA and/or Delta Connection employees you wouldn't have been on that plane.
Please don't take it personally but I was simply pointing out that your complaint has little merit because despite the security breach and your opinion that the proper precautions weren't taken you still flew on that aircraft.
