>Intrusive security is far better than none.
Why do you think this is true?
Is this one of those truths that are so obvious that nobody notices its
falsity?
How about: Security theater is a waste of money.
Intrusive security is no security. You need to be protected from the TSA.
Security isn't much better now than it was 10 years ago when they could
just grab suspicious looking passengers and take them aside. Machines,
dogs, cameras, multiple agents, bare feet, confiscating my water bottle
or can of soda, don't make us much safer. I had two kilos of cheese
almost confiscated in London a few years ago, until an agent offered to
have it shipped directly to my house so it wouldn't be with my
luggage--it arrived OK a week later. But I've managed to take a Swiss
Army knife through security almost everywhere except BWI. Why don't they
confiscate dangerous things like stiletto pens? Steve Wozniak carries a
sharpened credit card with him--sharp enough to cut his steak dinner. No
more credit cards? Nude airlines are next, just like in a recent TV
commercial.
If security is so much improved, why can we still profit so much from
disaster travel bargains? There's still guns, knives, bombs, etc. found
on planes, often in carryons. What companies profit from all the
so-called security??
