ep 036 What is Security Theatre?


Listen Later

What would a travel series be without the mention of the topic of security? Security Theatre is a term coined by Bruce Schneier ​​https://www.schneier.com/tag/security-theater/ about how security at the airport is more about making people feel safe without actually effectively providing security. Athena and Phelyx dive into the topic today from their own lens as performers and dig into what methods are actually ineffective and why. Listen to the episode to hear about badges and the people that wear them, the “Show” of security, and a couple of Juicy Bits from Athena about her personal experiences of going through TSA at DIA for her job. Enjoy!
