I was at a concert last night that had more security than the WHCD. [View all]

My wife and I attended a concert at a local venue. As we approached the building we went through several levels of security.

We were greeted as we approached and directed through one of three checkpoints. Our umbrellas were taken from us and checked. We then walked through a scanner like at an airport. People were wanded and their belongings checked if the scanner beeped. Then our tickets were scanned. Only then were we directed through the door into the building, where our tickets were checked again.

This is standard. Why on earth was there so little security at an event attended by the president, VP, numerous members of the cabinet, members of Congress...?

Either gross incompetence or something else.
