Dear Eugene, About four years ago, I heard Mark Miller calling the
airport security stuff the "Security Theatre" because it acts as a
large-scale theatre that is supposed to make the country's citizens
*think* that something is being done to solve some people's fears.
I liked his expression so much, that I have been using it ever since.

Here, I see that Mark's Hollywood meme for the security theatre
is catching on. :-)
