I noticed this sign while waiting for my secondary search in the airport the other day. The fact that I am a former FBI Counter-Terrorism Agent, have TSA Pre-Check, and Clear, and continually get selected for secondary, or “random”, searches is a topic for another day.

The sign struck me for it’s ridiculous insinuation - stand here and you will be safe. Safe from what? Covid? Violence? Terrorism? Random Crime?

How is that even possible?

But it is such a great example of where we are now. We are literally bombarding our citizens with the message of safety:

• Do this to be safe

• Stand here to be safe

• Buy this to be safe
