It's more "Security Theater".

I'm a horrible person - for a second, I imagined that Romney might be doing this to try and give a little boost to those he supports in November, kind of an attention-getting "HEY, I'M LOOKING OUT FOR THE CITIZENS OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND YOU CAN EXPECT THAT ANYBODY I SUPPORT WILL DO THE SAME".

I'm so horrible though, politicians would never use tactics like this in an election year, especially when they had high-profile projects that had problems earlier in the year *cough* Big Dig *cough* where such a tactic might knock something like that off the front pages, even if just for a little while.
