That is why we call it "security theater" - because every informed person will realize it's a heap of bullshit that serves no purpose but to get people used to methods of a authoritarian police state. Terrorism is a retarded excuse, period, and anyone who uses it as their primary argument should be laughed out of the building.
- c1sc0 15y agoI commend you for saying this out loud in a public forum. How things have changed in just a few years! Just after 9/11 you would have been laughed out of the building for pulling out the "security theater" card. It warms my heart to see so many people vocally & publicly calling out the bullshit governments are trying to pull on us, no matter if it's SOPA, PIPA, ACTA or whatever they will come up with next. I've been thinking about this internet freedom movement quite a bit lately & I am convinced the single most powerful thing we can do is to come out of our anonymous hiding places & publicly declare our intentions. That's why I created my freedom.txt & hope others will do same: http://fr.anc.is/freedom.txt http://fr.anc.is/freedom.txt
- mahyarm 15y agoI think people in a HN/Reddit/Slashdot type form have been saying this since it was implemented, and everyone was nodding their heads.
- cafebabe 15y agoThat is why I believe, that this is more about espionage than security. Even if it happens rarely. Security is just the official excuse.
