Phanerothyme Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 For those of you can't work it out for themselves.... If there is security on the entrance it is there a)because they are testing it, or b)because there is a perceived risk. If there is a perceived risk of say, stabbings and shootings, at a cinema, would you want to go there? For similar reasons, I tend to stay away from pubs with bouncers and security staff inside. They're not there for window dressing, they're there in case something kicks off, and there's a risk that it will. I'd rather go somewhere were the risks are much lower. They aren't hard to find. I'd call the thought police again if I thought it was worth it. But I think once is enough for one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I saw a bit of a police presence around the entrance of the cinema but nowhere else. I didn't get searched, I was there from around 8pm till midngiht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverGte160 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Its not the fact about not wanting to go through a metal detector, but why is it necessary. Does that mean there's been a stabbing before or someone waving weapons around I would consider avoiding because it must be there for a reason.

damo Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 people are stabbed/shot in a variety of places using the metal detectors is just a way of combatting this and making public places safer. how do you go on at airports? would you decide to still get on a plane if there were no security the way there is metal detectors/x ray machines etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alastair Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 This really shouldn't bother you if you have nothing to hide. I'd be worried about going to a cinema which needed protection from knife crime. I would choose to go to one of the many others which don't need a police search to enter.

cosywolf Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Did none of you read this, from someone who works there: They were testing it out on site that evening, and as it began raining they sought somewhere else to run the trial of it, so we said they could set it up inside the building. It was not any form of comment about our customers, purely a test of the device as a matter of site security to see how they work, what they do, etc. The big question is......did the alarm go off when you walked through? Or this, from someone who bothered to ask the police who were there: richardquinn yeah me and my g/f went and got stopped, i asked them and they said that it is a thing that they are doing all over sheffield, they are randomly popping up at places and setting them up, its only meant to be for one nyt at a time and not a perminant thing. thats wot the police said anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
