I’m a big fan of security. It just makes you feel better, doesn’t it? You’re flying to a foreign country, you like to know that the airport is secure. You’re out and about in a far away land, you like to know the streets are safe. If you invest $100,000 in an industry, you’d like to know it’s tried and true. Come on, guys – call me out if I’m wrong here.
People just like to know that they are protected at all times. That they can go out and enjoy a good night out at the ball park without having to worry about someone sneaking a hatchet into the crowd. I hate to be so macabre, but you get my point. Don’t get hung up on the hatchet part and just focus on the part about people wanting to feel safe.
Well, folks – yet again, I have to be the accountability police. I don’t exactly relish this role, but I accept. We have a dude out there that is performing some very lackluster security, and as a vocal advocate of the #BeBetter movement that I made up, I have to call the guy on it.

Sir, you aren’t touching any penises. Therefore, this is not proper security. You aren’t checking any bags or pockets whatsoever. This is not proper security.
I don’t want to call this guy out. Seems like a nice enough man. Like the rest of us, he’s just trying to make it through the day. Probably doesn’t care much for his job, but he’s gotta make ends meet, y’know?
Well, sir, you need to #BeBetter.
There it is. Dropped the hashtag on ’em. It’s not an easy decision – certainly not one I take lightly. And, maybe we should give this guy the benefit of the doubt. It’s all about context, and we don’t really know the context of this clip. Maybe it’s a bomb convention and it doesn’t really matter if people bring a bomb to the building. Maybe there’s some sort of imminent animal danger and the security is there solely to check for raccoons in people’s jackets. I don’t know.
But, on the surface, this just looks like shitty security. And, holy shit – wouldn’t you know….I’ve actually written over 450 words about this 12-second clip?!?!?
I swear, it’s like a gift.
