We were down there a couple of weeks ago. As you enter you go through a metal detector. I showed the attendant my LTC card and he, politely, escorted me to the police officer. The officer looked at my card, asked me to keep in concealed, and encouraged me to have a good day.

The second day we entered, we went through a side gate near the livestock shows. The attendant couldn't get our tickets to scan so he waved us through. No metal detector, and the other attendant with the wand, didn't even look at us.

This is the biggest problem with most security I have seen. If it is not complete security with no person exempted and no other entry points, it becomes security theater instead of actual security.

When I read the story, my first thought was that I thought they had metal detectors for everyone. Then I said that someone did not go through it.

But some of these quotes are priceless:

Hernandez is out on parole for aggravated robbery and had “an active ankle monitor,”

The fact that he was wearing an ankle monitor is more irrelevant in this case than in most. He was on parole and told his PO where he would be and specifically got permission to go to that hospital. It seems that his "significant other" (That is the term used in the article I read) was giving birth that day to his child.

More important, since there is no word on what touched off the shooting yet, is the reported point that the two nurses shot were protecting a new born infant. While there is no doubt in my ind that the nurses were heroes, I am guessing that they died protecting the new born baby from its father.
