Security Theater

Security Theater. What a great name for what occurs in our nation's airports. I saw it in action when National Guardsmen were assigned to airports with M-16's. To do.....what? Shoot whom? Fire high powered armor piercing rounds in a crowded area against what target?
It was all a sham to "make the public feel safe."

While traveling on active duty, I was never pulled out for secondary attention while traveling alone, if I used my driver's license for ID. But every time I used my military ID, I was pulled out of line for more attention. Hmmmm....could it be that I was, then, a known law-abiding citizen that would not cause problems, yet I filled a quota of passengers that had to be checked? We'll never know.

Jeffery Goldberg broke the law. He broke the law many, many times. He admits it. And proved that the TSA is a failure:

Airport security in America is a sham—“security theater” designed to make travelers feel better and catch stupid terrorists. Smart ones can get through security with fake boarding passes and all manner of prohibited items—as our correspondent did with ease.

“Counter­terrorism in the airport is a show designed to make people feel better,” he said. “Only two things have made flying safer: the reinforcement of cockpit doors, and the fact that passengers know now to resist hijackers.”

Read this and feel safe that the same people that designed THIS system now want to run the financial systems and take over the medical systems of the USA.

Don't you feel safer?
