Several women felt safer, that is a tangible result.

  Aah, but that's the issue isn't it. They felt safer, but they're not. They are just as vulnerable as before, because the underlying issue wasn't address. As someone else pointed out, it's "security theater". You haven't made the women safer. You're saying: See, we did something. It's just that the thing you attacked was never the problem.

    I'm not sure it is security theatre, these sweeps may well be very capable of finding hidden cameras. Then their failure to find anything demonstrates that the danger has been severely overstated in several locations, that seems like valuable knowledge to me. Decreasing uncertainty is an important aspect of providing security. Of course, the scans could be incapable, either by neglect or incompetence, and then they do provide only false security.

  They were probably only scared because of the security theater in the first place.
