"obvious"? to whom? certainly not to the many people who are being targeted as teh audience of the "theatre" of false security. they may not read schneier's blog, but some of them do read the atlantic, and the other mainstream press publications that cover schneier's debunking.
Well, let's put it this way, I havent often agreed with Schneier's solutions (too crypto heavy when he talks about IT security, say - and supercilious to put it mildly when talking about terror, physical security etc etc). If he were to see what's truly effective he'd have to see what goes on with El Al in Israel - everybody is treated suspiciously, and there's blatant racial profiling, etc etc. TSA are pussycats compared to israeli security.
