Security Theater

[mamajoan]

I wanted to write about an experience we had recently with "Security Theater," i.e., the needless application of illogical policies designed to present the illusion of heightened security while not actually making anything safer.

Wow. That gets a prize for extra extra stupid security theater.

ARGH! And, I'm so glad you got to see the show!

That's crazy. Wow. We've had some increased security at my kids' school lately (there is an actual valid reason for it this time), but a few of its elements are just that--theater. Annoying.

Very frustrating. I'm glad you overcame the stupid. :)
