> security theater There's a reason it's called "Theatrical Security Administration". I don't know why we still put up with this garbage. It seems we're the only ones in the world who do security like this. I understand the need for basic security at the airport, but IMO that should be limited to identification (checking for wanted persons) and bringing on dangerous things that could cause problems in flight (compressed air, flammable substances, etc). Everything else should be between the airline and the government, since bad actors are unlikely to try to sneak things through regular airport security.
