re: #217 Sol Berdinowitz

This is another fallacy of our modern security state: that increasing police/security personnel automatically leads to a proportional increase in security. At some stage in there, you reach a point of diminshing returns.

On a happier note, it’s also a refutation of Foucalt’s ultraparanoid security state: the nightmarish situation where you’re being carefully watched all the time by the authorities is not really possible because the authorities would get bored, jack off, etc.
