Everyone who works in XX-Sec will tell you that every system has weaknesses, in this case I think that it is those weaknesses which shouldn't be photographed.

Everyone who works in XX-Sec will tell you that every system has weaknesses, in this case I think that it is those weaknesses which shouldn't be photographed.
I think the logic is that the bad guys would use the pictures to identify the weaknesses and evade the screenings.
Now, whether the point of Airline security really is to catch the bad guys is a whole different story...
- ch4s3 9y agoLet's continue the ridiculous premise and explore the following assumption; "pictures... identify the weaknesses". If that is true, surely thousands of pictures could be used to find an fix the weaknesses. I suspect that photos are disallowed is because the TSA et al are afraid of embarrassment, and they should be.
- TheSpiceIsLife 9y agoIf pictures can identify weaknesses, can't "The Bad Guys" just go there themselves, or send their lackies.

What a guy!” Send someone not important: “You know what? I’m glad I forgot how to light my liquid-based shoe bombs that need exactly 101ml of fluid to blow a fatal hole in a plane. The inflight meal was much better than I thought it would be. I mean it wasn’t great but it was not horrible either. When I got off the plane, There were infidels and uhhh there was security and umm stuff. I didn’t take any pictures because there was a sign that said I shouldn’t. It was easy to find which suitcase was mine because of the rainbow colored strap my niece chose for me to put on it. What do you think of the mouse ears I got you from Disneyland? ...boss?”
