My teacher was just saying the other day how when he was younger there was virtually no security to get on an airplane. You could basically walk on as if you were going on to a bus or something of that sort. And now airport security is INSANE because of all the attacks and what not.
So it got me to thinking, do you think other basic places will soon have buffed up security? Such as say a sporting stadium. You can walk right into a stadium without any metal detectors or security unless you have a bag. And when you do have a bag they look through it, but I can get a bag of chips past them if I want. What does that say about the security of it?
People probably wouldn't even think of having to go through intense security to get into a baseball game currently, as I'm sure people thought the same about airplanes back then. Do you think it will take a single attack in a stadium (or other place) before the security is as insane as airports?
Just wondering opinions...

Hello and i think that maybe yes baseball stadiums will someday have security because you never know i mean thay might attack a stadium with a bomb or sumething.Also maybe they they might add a security cheker because *** you said you can slip a bag by one of the bag checkers.But you probabley wont be able to slip anything by a motion metal or any other detector.Well i hope that answers your question need anymore questions just go to prettycolors.zoomshare.com and leave a question in the the advice spot.Have a nice day.

There is no end to this. No matter what we do, we will be vulnerable at some point. That is human nature. That is how humans work. By making mistakes.
We can never have "perfect" security. Let's face it. Some people want to compromise freedom in the name of security. But if you think about it - it works.
there hasn't been a single attack in the US in the last five years. Thats something to take note of.
I dont care if it will take a while for me to get on a plane, if that means safety and security.

I think it's inevitable regardless of whether there is another attack. Any public event or popular attractions where large groups of people gather are going to have much tighter security than before as a given. It's already happening. Also, it wasn't that long ago when you can board an airplane like you would at a Greyhound bus stop. Those days are gone forever thanks to 9/11.

I'm sure Security will be beefed up in all levels. If you can pass a bag of chips through Security is because they are letting you . They are over looking the bag of chips thy are way to busy to worry about a bag of chips. It's just the way it has turned out to be this days,

..here is the danger in it imo ...not only is it unecessary, it desensitizes the public and gets them used to having every bag and orifice scrutinized ... being sold the idea that we need heavy protection from some sort of phantom enemy is the first large step towards tyranny historically. with the implementation of REAL-ID in 2008 i think things will get even tighter where you will be required to scan ur card for virtually everything ... within several years i expect even certain "toll-booth" type roadblocks everywhere requireing a card scan .... having too much security is defined as a police state and that is the bottom line ... personally i dont feel i need to be protected from anything except the security system itself infringing on my freedoms ....

I know at my concert venue, you have to empty your pockets, and you cannot take in certain things, like any sort of drinks or food. If you have something bulky around your stomach, or you're wearing a hood, they'll have you lift up your shirt a little bit and spin. This has been going on since I've been going to concerts, and that started 6 years ago. So it's hard to judge exactly how and where security has changed.

Everyone should have to walk around naked, carry no bags or other containers and be subject to body cavity searches by anyone who observes them acting suspiciously. Also, all telephones and computers should be monitored by government agencies. Video cameras should be installed in every room of every house. Drapes, curtains, venetian blinds, shades and window tints should be outlawed.
These precautions should not be too much to ask if we really want to protect the home of the brave and land of the free.

Technology is advancing rapidly. Pretty soon all you will have to do is walk through an arch-like structure which will detect explosives. Some airports are using something similar to this now.

Theres a point where it can't get any worse. Planes had virtually no security back then because they were still a new concept, we now are aware on how much power you have if you have control of airspace.

Airports, courts, public buildings, subway stations -- stadiums are likely next. And it may not take another attack, though that would certainly clinch it.
