Additionally, I think most people at concerts support security measures that would improve their safety and avoid a rerun of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Arena_bombing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Arena_bombing
- Symbiote 1y agoHow is checking names going to prevent terrorists with guns? The article isn't clear (as I'm not familiar with Manchester Arena and the names of the rooms) but a man was allowed in with a bomb in a bag. Showing id (or not) wouldn't have been the problem. (And incidentally, it's not required to show identification for flights within Europe's Schengen area.)
- sealeck 1y agoYou have completely misread my comment; the point is that checking names would not be for security (it would be to prevent ticket scalping). As you have correctly identified, handling security threats is somewhat orthogonal to this - i.e. your claim is false. Large venues will inevitably have to introduce security screening irrespective of whether or not they match names and tickets.
