Walkin' man

I've always wondered, is there something to the notion that security theater, while making some of the idiot masses feel better, also tricks some malicious idiots into thinking they couldn't get away with it? The kind of actions we're talking about, you only get one shot. Some combination of attention and power is what they crave, and I wonder how seriously they take into account the possibility that they'd be harmlessly deflected, locked up, and (at least in their own mind) laughed at?
