The terrorist would be the one responsible not the people who operate the venue.




Security experts worry about safety at college stadiums

By CHRIS TALBOTT, Associated Press Writer
December 25, 2007

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) -- After more than a decade in counterterrorism, Jim McGee can no longer relax and enjoy watching a sports event.

The fans look like potential victims of terrorism to the former FBI agent turned college instructor. The players are possible targets and the security gaps are easy to detect.


"It's always in the back of my mind, even when I'm watching them on TV," McGee said. "You're kind of looking at things. The thing is if I can sit there or any spectator can sit there, and think, 'Hmmm, that doesn't look right,' that's probably a little bit of a risk there."

It was long McGee's job to worry about security at stadiums and arenas. Now, as part of the University of Southern Mississippi's Center for Spectator Sports Security Management, it's his job to teach others the concerns that face event managers in the post-9/11 era.

1. yeah, because it's not like they already have cameras and security
and the people that attend aren't searched at the door. Plus, attacks are just happening all the time. :sarcasm: The guy needs to take a freaking pill and STFU.

2. University of Southern Mississippi?
Now there is a high-profile target if there ever was one. I'm sure that Al-Qaeda is poring over USM's football schedule for next year looking for a game they can attack. :sarcasm:
