That would not had affected this situation. The theater did not secure the exit doors by either passive or active monitoring of their use. Security measures exist to monitor or alarm these doors as well as the software to indicate an out of normal opening or closing of these doors. As far as the taping over the strike, additional measures such as magnetic latches would also have prevented this from happening. The theater owners are in deep legal trouble on this.
Agreed.
While I hate placing the primary focus/"blame" on anybody other than the terrorists, the theater didn't even need to place security people directly @ the doors -- until an alarm would signal that a door's been propped open for "x" amount of time. I mean such an alarm makes financial sense alone (freeloaders getting in)
One of the first things I said to Mrs. Delta was that there are gonna be law suits all around. The finding of the theaters negligence will truly magnify it.
: But normal everyday concealed carry movie goes who truely respect the law, thats why we got a cc permit in the first place, will enter thru the front door, and as in this case either left their weapons in the car or at home because we were aware that the theater is a gun free zone. Admittedly I now feel that the misdemeanor charge of carrying where youre not supposed to is right up there with spitting on the sidewalk or jay-walking. But the liberals through legislation or the business owners because of liability will have permanently installed metal detectors at the front doors and you wont be able to carry it in even if you wanted to.
