And so, it was really like one out of three people actually were able to get information
or report out information.
Now, you had a lot of high-strung journalists who wanted to be reporting live from the scene of whatever they think was happening, and some of them were able to get some things recorded and transmitted out, but you didn't have good signal there.
So, a lot of the eyewitnesses were not actually getting their version of things out, and people that were sitting at home on the couch might have had more real-time information, but what it made was people between those two points could make almost anything up.
and it would fill the void until things could actually be reported and acted upon.
But the other part of it is, I think there's legitimate questions about what a big modern hotel or venue ought to have by way of their security, much more so than what did the Secret Service do or not do in this particular instance.
Because whether we like it or not, the Secret Service's job is pretty narrowly focused on protecting the protectees.
The rest of us, that's just the harsh reality.
When I got evacuated out of the White House on 9-11, you learned really quickly whether you were in the fry zone or in the no fry zone.
Whether you were as senior as you thought you were and you got to go down into the piyak or you got to walk home, good luck, we might see you.
And I was definitely in the fry zone.
But if you're at one of these events, that's what you are.
But there's real questions about privacy and civil liberties.
At what point do you give them up in order to have the privilege of staying in someone's hotel?
And with AI and cameras that should be in stairways and hallways, you can observe a more of behavior.
and whether someone looks like they have weapons long before they enter an area where they would have to challenge a security checkpoint.
And that, I think, is a question that you have to ask if you're going to have this level of an event or similar kind of security challenge event.
What is sort of the private layering that's in the facility?
And then there's the whole Secret Service.
How do you create a cleared bubble?
