Delta, as with all airlines, do have a responsibility to ensure the safe operation of the flight. It is not just a matter for security. Staff must be vigilent to odd behaviour, changes in behaviour, etc. This is one of the fundamentals of the Israeli security system. In this case, there was a significant change in this man's behaviour in the 30 minutes before the flight landed, and it was noted by some passengers around him. It remains to be seen if some Delta staff ought to have observed this.. lets wait for the final report and recommendations before declaring them guilty or innocent.
