I've run into the programmer vs normal person difference in thinking quite often
As a programmer I can't understand how we are more secure by bunching people into large tight groups in security lines to protect people on the other side of security lines.
If terrorists want to kill the traveling public, one grenade and a few guns could take out dozens if not hundreds of people in a security line. And it requires no security to reach it. It really just seems a textbook case of security theater to me.
- dalore 11y agoThat's because there is no real threat and it's all theater. In a place where there are real threats, like in Israel, they have security layers with multiple checkpoints and they understand that a bunch of people in a group is a target.
