I certainly would have been more organized in my approach if I was in charge there, it doesn't sound like they had any security whatsoever and they should have had, even if I had to assign people to handle it (which would keep them busy and keep their minds off of their troubles). I definitely would have searched these people for guns and drugs on the way in...not arrested them, mind you, but I wouldn't have allowed any of that stuff in the Dome.
Correction then...you sound like a woman with a plan.
