Hold on, your argument can't put aside the "security theatre aspect" while also using it as justification for policies. If it really is theatre, this wouldn't be doing anything more effectively except getting more people invested in the show going on.
- fighterpilot 5y agoI should've said "to the extent that it isn't security theatre"
- sudosysgen 5y agoNow your argument hinges on it not being security theater. You have to make the case that airport security is so vital and effective that we need to profile people to get that slight edge.
