That seems to be a reasonable request, but indoors you get the threat of explosives.
Reasonable but why? They successfully protected Trump's massive outdoor rallies in 2016, 2020 and half of 2024. They protected the Black Jesus Obummer in 2008, 2012 no problem. What has changed? Why lower the bar and interfere with venues and crowd size?
If there's a venue that's closed and pre-scouted, you could have the reasonable expectation that it's safe. But nothing is ever going to be safe when your security is deliberately ignoring obvious problems.
Agree. It's a real conundrum when you have to rely on a DOJ/FBI/DHS/USSS that is politicized against you ... for your protection.
Especially when the all permanent seats are sloped. The SS can't be bothered to check under every seat because that would involve moving slightly upwards with each level of seats.
