Security Theatre

Bruce Schneier and company penetrate TSA security to show that the TSA is a waste of tax dollars.

Schneier has his biases (he tends to assume a highly-competent enemy when the evidence from Michael Sheehan is that Al Qaeda is not such) but I'm inclined to agree. It's a lot of money and hassle spent for little return except a sense of (illusory) security. We would probably be better off without it.
