Security Theater

I used to have two blades on my keychain. Now I only have one. The TSA in Phoenix confiscated my Necessikey knife but not my Utili-key knife, despite the fact that the woman who took the first one had my keys in her hands. I also got patted down in San Francisco for the sin of setting off the metal detector with my belt. My belt which did not set off the metal detector in Phoenix. This happened after I was telling one of my co-workers in the security line that the only good thing to come out of TSA was standardized screening. I was wrong.

Heh, Breda was able to (accidentally) transport a folding knive in her carry-on baggage not once, but twice. Of course, that was in addition to effectively being strip-searched, thanks to her bionic augmentations.
The Theater Security Agency was nothing more than a farce when it was created, is nothing more than a farce now, and will continue to be nothing more than a farce. And we are the worse for it.
