Swiss concert promoter ABC Productions has banned backpacks from all its concerts in Switzerland in response to the terror attack at the Manchester Arena concert venue two weeks ago.
Twenty-two people were killed and many more injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in the northern UK city on May 22nd.
In a statement, ABC Productions said it is “aware of its great responsibility in safety matters.”
“As a consequence of the tragic events in the Manchester Arena as well as the constantly changing demands of touring safety and artist management, ABC Productions has decided to implement a rigorous backpack and bag ban on all shows.”
Only handbags smaller than A5 size (14.8 cm × 21 cm) will be allowed in concerts. …

That’s right, ban backpacks from concerts, but not Mohammedans from your country. Western governments are committing hemispherical suicide.
If you figure in security costs to each concert now....I’d take a guess that ten Euro a person is now added onto each ticket from this point on.
I went to a company stock holder meeting in Frankfurt four weeks ago....six guys at the front door, with a magic wand and the full-up X-ray device for bags. This was just to get into a regular yearly stock-holder meeting within Germany.
Prisoners in our own countries. We try to harden select locations in the interior instead of controlling Mohammedans at the borders. Leftist PC lunacy.
Oh, backpacks! I wondered what was causing all the trouble. I’m glad that mystery is solved.
My first reaction re: concert security was to question the sanity of the staid Swiss in allowing entry of Bieber and Celine Deion along with their enourages for any reason.
Having watched events from the D.B. Cooper hijacking followed by Palestinian and radical Reds shooting at Isreal’s Lod arport, the increased “security measures” have all been illusions with great costs, enormous inconvenience, and degrading and humiliating searches of 99.9999% of its citizens. And like the Maginot Line totally ineffective against the inbreed sand peoples of the religion of peace. 50 years and counting of successive generations of politicians touting the next snake oil cure.
Time to stand back and tally up the number of dead, wounded, permanently disabled, and affected surving famiily members versus dead terrorists.
Fact is western civilization is losing the battle of attrition against the billion and a half insane unswerving adherents of the ROP.
Any talk of a “Ring of Steel” within a country’s borders is already an admission that the walls have been breached and invaders are free to murder, rape, and pillage at will. Custer, too, hand a ring of steel at Little Big Horn.
And they can’t pat themselves on the back fast enough for being so enlightened.
A European example: Hitler was always decreeing this or that place was now a "fortress" ringed by steel. Each one was breached or bypassed to let wither on the vine.
Mr. niteowl77
Elected and appointed federal, state, and local officials even give taxpayers' money to the inadequately-screened Mohammedans allowed to come into this country. Such officials openly flaunt their giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
What they should be doing now is banning large crowds, as those crowds obviously anger their new arrivals.
...and I expect that soon, maybe in a few years.
Ban women performers.
Exactly
“Good news! We’ve solved the symptom!”
A fair amount of explosives can be hidden under a baggy shirt. Shouldn’t baggy shirts be banned too?
But then who is to decide what is a “baggy” shirt, and what isn’t? Best if Europeans just stay home at all times, and quit all this concert nonsense.
The dead jihadi detonated his backpack outside AFTER the show.
Banning backpacks inside the venue does not prevent that type of attack.
Zero tolerance for mohamadians loitering outside of venues waiting for shows to end COULD reduce the impact of such plots.
61% of muslims in America are first generation immigrants.
Trojan horse has been brought in the gate. The troops await the go signal.
Better idea: kick the mucking fuzzies the hell out of your country!
Zero tolerance for mohammedans in civil Western society is key. They can slaughter each other in their own muzzie hellholes.
My impression is that the Manchester bomber didn't take the backpack into the venue.
More "punish the innocent" crap from our overlords.
Leaving it to fester for a thousand years is why it is still a problem today.
