The Security Theatre - Negative Effects on Travel?
In a time where Africa is seeing a small boost in tourism, the security theatre that has been created in the United States does very little to undermine terrorists. It has not stopped any credible threats and it has always been passengers who have been the ones who have been able to reduce or put down the threat. Security theatre actually does seem to have one really clear effect that is changing the way that we fly. Invasive security procedures are reducing the number of people who are flying. Many are choosing to take the bus or train instead, or perhaps taking the option to drive, even when these options actually work out as being more expensive.
Having had a very successful year trading with the help of a little galvan research it’s a real shame when all that hard earned money is wasted when you have to endure the embarrassing and unnecessary procedures like security theatre. It is clear that the tide has yet to be turned against the increased security on flights. And one single event of successful terrorism will only cause the procedures to be ramped up. While people seem prepared to tolerate the current waves of measures being put in place, I do not think that this will carry on if things are made even more stringent.
People will turn away from air travel. It’s already a great inconvenience to even have to go to the airport many hours before a flight, especially when the airport is many miles away from the city centre. If an attempt is made to make air travel even “safer,” I fear that very few people will continue to fly if there are any other methods that are easier and require less stress than air travel creates. The more that security theatre is built up, the less that people will fly. We want freedom, and unlike terrorism which happens very rarely, security theatre impacts millions of passengers every day and it needs to stop.
