‘A Brilliant Social Engineering Hack’

‘A Brilliant Social Engineering Hack’ – Want to know how to carry camera equipment on airplanes with no-cost extra security, for the cost of a few starter pistols? ‘Security Guru’ Bruce Schneier
tells you how it’s done. [The Online Photographer]

Read the link, but the basic concept is that photographers could take advantage of the normal regulations for legally transporting firearms on an airplane and get extra security and more careful tracking of their gear. The article claims that it is enough to ship (openly and legally, according to normal regulations for such things) a starter’s pistol!
