Security Theater - it’s time to rebel

I think it’s important to try to introduce all American’s to the term “Security Theater.”

Security theater has been defined as ostensible security measures which have little real influence on security whilst being publicly visible and designed to demonstrate to the lesser-informed that countermeasures have been considered. Security theater has been related to and has some similarities with superstition. source: Wikipedia

Basically not allowing people to use e-book readers, ipods, laptops, and blankets during any point in the flight is not going to make us safer. It’s time to file complaints with the TSA and airlines to let them know these measure will not make us safer. I also recommend contacting the White House and letting our president know that we want real measure and not puppetry. Lets elevate individuals such as Bruce Schneier who can make effective and actionable change to security without wasting money on BS measures. Read Bruce’s discussion of this debacle in the New Yorker.
