Crazy to think we've been doing Security Theater for nearly 24 years and counting.

But hey, you can't argue with the results.

The results are that security professionals have been able to board planes with weapons anyway and that the TSA doesn't actually improve safety at all.

They are being sarcastic, security theater is proven ineffective and the erosion of privacy and civil rights continue to hasten.

Very few planes (if any) have been hijacked to Cuba in the past 24 years.

At least we don't have to take off our shoes anymore.

Some have also been doing democracy theater for hundreds of years.
