There's a real need for security though, so while I would love to make it better (... by removing the theatre elements) that doesn't mean no security. We have lots of things that we know work but lack various wills to do so, ranging from the easy like "don't let anyone other than ticketed travellers anywhere near the terminal" to the crazy-sounding like "make flying 10x or 100x time more expensive".

- cogman10 5y ago> There's a real need for security though. Why? Do we need this level of security at a bus station or a train station? No? Why? Because planes can be flown into things? Lock the cabin door. Because there's lots of people on planes? Well, there's lots of people on trains, buses, or in random offices and hotels. Why are the plane people special? What about giant conventions or events? We have all this security because of 9/11, but only 1 security measure (locking cabin doors) was needed to stop the next 9/11.
