Security Theater

Here's an excerpt, I'm not kidding, this stuff is hilarious:


"I pointed out to the security officer that 50 percent of the American population has no balls (90 percent in Washington, D.C., where I live), so what is going to happen when the pat-down officer meets no resistance in the crotchal area of women? 'If there's no resistance, then there's nothing there.'

"But what about people who hide weapons in their cavities? I asked. I actually said 'vagina' again, just to see him blush. 'We're just not going there,' he reiterated."


Really, read it. And as usual, thanks to Schneier.
