You shouldn't be wearing one at all. It's security theater in nature and outright intentional manipulation to see who will comply with useless mandates.

security theater

This is the term that everybody should know.

What's a Security Theater? I couldn't find much on DDG. Thanks!

No worries! Security theater is when people take action that looks like they're putting serious thought and concern to the safety and security of something, but in reality they aren't doing anything to actually fix the problem. It's often used in cyber security, but applies here too; everything they're doing is for show, not to stop the virus.

And when the virus disappears (fuck knows when they decide it to disappear) they’ll pat themselves on the back, and say they did the right thing. Then the sheep will applaud.

Think TSA at airports. They did a test once and, if I remember correctly, the TSA has something like a 95% failure rate when it comes to actually preventing people from carrying weapons on a plane. I've gotten past with razors I accidentally left in my backpack. Even heard a story once of someone who was let on and realized they had left their pistol in their carry on bag.

TSA is really just a bunch of people standing around looking like they are doing something when in reality they don't accomplish shit. Its all a disguise so that people feel safer flying than they really are, and to some extent, to fool some idiots who might plan on doing something stupid with a plane that they wouldn't get away with it. In reality anyone who wanted to hijack a plane nowadays probably still could.

(Although the two good things from the 9/11 aftermath is that cockpit doors are now always locked from the inside, and now it can't be assumed that a hijacked plane will just be flown to a nearby airfield where the hijackers will get ten million dollars and a free flight back to Saudi Arabia. They might actually fly the fucking thing into a building and kill everyone on board.)

Gun free zones are also another good example of security theater. Most places that advertise as gun free have absolutely zero ways to make sure you don't bring a gun onto the property. All it does is deter lawful gun owners from protecting themselves, and fool sheep into thinking there aren't any wolves around.

More than once on the TSA one, several times the TSA has been found to be lacking, in private and government tests. A great parody song on it, over and over again they've proven to not be effective during testing, but if you were to remove them, people would of course complain that nothing is being done to stop terrorism, because a lot of Karens deeply desire to be oppressed.

Bro the 9/11 tradgey made it almost impossible for me to fly to the states for the first time in my life but I'm always glad when I can visit!

Gun zones I don't understand. It seriously goes against all kinds of logic.

Thank you and to the other Pede for informing me!
