Crazy thought (sad that I even have to think about it), but what if a gun(wo)man entered the room and no one is able to call for help or give the police his/her position via their phone since it is locked.
- robbbbbbbbb 10y agoI am fairly sure you could rip it open if you really wanted too. I went to a Dave Chappelle show and he used something similar to this, the lock felt strong but it felt like you could rip it open if you really tried.
- bigiain 10y agoI wanna say "Welcome to the security theatre industrial complex", but hey, Orlando shows this isn't an insane scenario (although, to be fair, like most things people are irrationally afraid of, I suspect way more people die each year driving to and from nightclubs that _don't_ get shot up - than have ever died (no matter how horrifically) in a nightclub shooting...)
- _nedR 10y agoAgree with you with on the whole overblown threat thing. But this does raise the spectre of liability for the concert organisers, artists and the pouch company. Sure, the odds of an individual getting attacked at these events is minuscule. But over time the probability of someone bring a gun into some concert is pretty high. When that happens and it transpires that people weren't able to use their phones to seek help, the class-action lawsuits could come. The obvious solution (to the organisers at least) would be to bring aircraft-level security into concerts (security patdowns, etc.).
