Worse than useless

Tag: Stuff That Grinds My GearsJohn @ 11:03 am

When I wrote the tagline in my last post it got me thinking.  Has the Homeland Security Advisory System ever been useful for anything besides a punchline?  It’s never been below elevated in its six years of existence. It’s remained at cowardly yellow or above all this time.  It’s been raised to high nearly a dozen times, but  despite the supposedly great risk, nothing has happened.  Surely you’d think something would come about when it was raised to severe. Nope, it was just chicken little squawking a little louder.  Can we please get rid of the DHS and return to living our lives normally?  It’s been 7 years, I think we can stop cowering in fear now.

leave the rainbows to gays, leprechauns and skittles

Damn those evil terrist’ fiction writers!! This will teach them to threaten our schools with zombie attacks!  Thanks to the good work by the Lexington police department there have been no attempted zombie attacks on the local schools for over three years.  Kudos to them!

the National Zombie Threat Advisory has been downgraded to “Shaun of the Dead”

Excellent argument by Bruce Schneier explaining just one reason why many TSA policies are security theater designed to make us feel safe without actually being safer. Although I personally just feel more annoyed than safe. I’m really glad I haven’t had to fly anywhere in the past 7 years.
