Because if the government does it, then there must be a good and proper reason?
Perhaps if we can figure out a way to easily circumvent the restrictions, it means the terrorists can too, thus rendering the restrictions meaningless -- and if they are meaningless, that is pretty much the definition of security theater. Unless the people in charge simply didn't realize there are gaping holes, in which case it is still security theater, since it was done without making sure it accomplishes the objective.
I'm not sure which is worse.
