S.Powell suggested

" In my experience it seems to me that the people
who end up in those jobs are in it for the power
trip"

Whereas in my experience people interested in a
power trip don't "end up" in any job, they
actively go seeking a particular type of job.
People who "end up" in any sort of job often
have very little choice short of the dole
queue

I had a short conversation with a security man
at Heathrow in the security hall while repacking
my stuff, and without looking directly at me he
explained that everyone, both security and passengers
was being closely monitored by CCTV cameras.
He needn't have told me that - although it seems
obvious when you think of it - and had I been a
"secret passenger" paid to monitor security
staff he could quite possibly have lost his
job over it.

From which its easy to see that anyone seen
being especially considerate to passengers
might be singling themselves out for the dole
queue.

S. Powell then went on to suggest:

"I know they've got an important job to do,"

It's the exact opposite actually. Its precisely
because much of it is so unecessary, that all the
people whose jobs depend on it, have to go out of
their way to pretend otherwise.

Basically its impossible politically to admit
that most of it is a complete waste of money and
that millions could be saved worldwide by
putting thousands of security staff on the
dole.

And so in order to maintain the pretence its
imperative that nobody is allowed to smile.
Ever.
