Especially since it's just theater. It's just to make you feel fucking oppressed. Fuck!
I am legitimately surprised that the TSA has not been quietly disbanded by now
Too many opportunities for skimming off the top to let go.
people won't fly if they don't go through the security theater beforehand. they wildly overestimate the likelihood of terrorism because the impact is very high, so if you don't make them take their shoes off, throw out their water and do a little security dance they'll assume they're going to be murdered.
I have yet to meet someone saying thank you while being asked to walk through the metal detector a second time. I think it’s more along the lines of “this decision was never up to us.”
Yeah, those changes came while Constitutional law was suspended. The Patriot Act was a coup in and of itself.
I can't speak for others, but I would.
Come the fuck on....
Eh, maybe you're right. It's been a while. Still, hard to overstate the raw terror in the first couple years, maybe now it's just entrenched bureaucracy
