1) Chile has been drifting left.
2) They had an estimated 40,000 protestors in the street over the last few days.
3) These street protestors focused on Bush in their shouts and signs.
4) How could anyone in the Chilean government not be worried over security at a dinner or social mixer?
5) If the Chileans wouldn't allow a metal detector to be put in place, they must not be concerned over security.

Or maybe they are concerned and there is a reason they don'e like the security measures.
