The draconic security measures enforced in airports throughout the world may not be as effective as the officials want. We are banned from bringing onboard box cutters and a few drops of liquid, but terrorists aren’t stupid. They will find new ways to circumvent the security measures because they are adaptable. People in charge of “thinking security” are not.
The lack of proper security practices is obvious. People tend to concentrate on countering events that are rare, extraordinary, vivid and well publicized. For instance, in 2003 Attorney General John Ashcroft claimed that there were no terrorist attacks two years after 9/11 and that proved that his policies worked. However, Bruce Schneier wonders why there were no terrorist attacks two years before 9/11, when no policies were in effect?
The skit I wanted to show to you is about how ineffective security measures are in airports. It was aired on “Saturday Night Live”. Play it and see for yourself whether this joke may already be the truth.
