    See also “Martin’s law” and the interminable queues to get into the city ground nowadays.

    This confuses me as Martin was killed by someone in the foyer with a bomb who hasn't had to go through any search.

    Someone so inclined turning up with a rucksack full of bomb ten minutes before kick off could have a much bigger field day than pre-law and never need to be searched.

    Guessing that if it’s off the premises, the organiser isn’t liable under the law?

    Similar queue on Main Stand cat park.

    It’s all daft and unnecessary and isn’t going to really going to help when it is the drones that are going to the issue.

    Guess the club is obliged to go along with whatever their consultants and insurers tell them is necessary or they are being negligent.

    Not much they can do about drone attacks and until someone somewhere blows themselves up in a queue, noone will do anything about that risk. Because that's the way it works.

    Incidentally, in the summer when everyone is dressed in shorts and t shirts, and we're not allowed reasonably sized bags, what the fuck were they checking for? A suicide vest would be pretty fucking obvious in those conditions.

    Carrying enough of a payload by drone (except a military style drone), to make a substantial impact, is not trivial.

    Hopefully someone would notice if a V2 was being assembled in a garage in Arnold, or high tech military hardware imported.

    Security measures are rarely actually for security. They are more likely to be for public confidence and insurance purposes.

    Going from Russ's birthday and attendant blarts (steady Jim), to a full on debate about the relative merits and disadvantages of roundabouts and the lack thereof within North American inner city and suburban road networks, to terrorists drone attacka in one fluid thread is quite something, even by Talkback's lofty standards.

    Excellent work, and well done to all involved.

    One way or another the last 24 or so hours on this thread has got multiple people onto a watch list somewhere.

    As long as I don't have to watch that then I am okay. Ingo and your mum probably isn't something of primetime viewing.

    Also if you are driving in the US and want to avoid drones but not roundabouts just go to Buffalo. They have a big honking one in downtown (roundabout not drone) and it's a little confusing to navidate as there are no arrows on the ground/road to tell you which direction to go..

    Always happy to help the terrorists (um I meant tourists..)

    Chicago: 6 hours behind.

    Pro tip: do not go to Buffalo. It is a fucking armpit of a city.
