There are a lot of things that terrorists could do, but don't, in spite of lots of discourse like yours suggesting it would be effective for them. Bruce Schneier held contests for such suggestions, in order to highlight security theater, but also serving to point out that it's not remotely practical to guard against all reasonable threats. Since we're limiting the threats guarded against anyway, it might be better to guard specifically against those that have been experienced, rather than strip-searching grandma ( https://nypost.com/2019/06/06/tsa-humiliated-grandma-with-st... ) out of a pretense that it could be anyone... anyone at all.

So, "credit realism", to match "IQ realism"?

I see this a lot, and the background assumption seems to be "in the real world, minority group A is actually riskier, dumber, or objectively worse in some other way, so in order to comply with anti-discrimination, we have to introduce special cases."

Maybe instead we should start with the assumption that women are NOT riskier, dumber, or objectively worse, and fix the likely bug, instead?
