I Found Me an Expert

Hey Obama! I found me an expert on counterterrorism, and he said your expert is an incompetent piece of shit whose primary job is to seek rent from the government. Popular Mechaincs:

Since 9/11, cryptology expert and security consultant Bruce Schneier has been one of the most pointed critics of the government’s anti-terrorism security programs. In his 2003 book “Beyond Fear,” he coined the phrase “security theater” to refer to measures which are undertaken not because they will be effective at thwarting attacks, but because the agencies carrying them out need to appear to be doing something useful. We spoke to Schneier about the recent controversy involving the Transport Security Agency’s use of invasive scanners and full-body pat-downs.

Can I skip the security theater now and get on a plane without having some dude ogle my “form” or fondle my naughty bits?
