Why should my phone be acting like I'm a criminal? That's like searching the bags of everyone who exits the supermarket, or police doing door-to-door house sear

Why should my phone be acting like I'm a criminal? That's like searching the bags of everyone who exits the supermarket, or police doing door-to-door house searches "just in case". What's next? Verify every photo I take with my phone?
- buildbot 3y agoYeah that's what this person wants, to scan every photo you take...ick.

Notice how they don’t release their testing rates on how many of the test weapons and threats make it through TSA security, because then it would be too easy to point to that and rightfully assert that they utterly fail at their mission while wasting untold lifetimes worth of human time and make travel that much more miserable. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/06/reassessing_air.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/06/reassessing_a... (2015) is a good read on that if you don’t already know. My point is that when politicians do something “to save the children”, it’s rarely about actually helping anyone but themselves.
