If you need a definition of the term “security theater,” just recall the name Bob Thomas.
As detailed at reason.com’s wonderful brickbat feature, Thomas and his family ran afoul of the ridiculously ineffective bureaucracy known as the Transportation Safety Administration.
I’ll let you read the outrage. All I can say is that if Sen. Debbie Stabenow or Sen. Carl Levin or Rep. Mike Rogers wanted to impress some constituents, they would make sure this security person -- and his supervisor -- were fired forthwith. Or better yet, the trio could show some true political courage and start fighting against all this federal security claptrap.
