At many public places in cities, thousands of people come and go everyday, often carrying bulky packages. No metal detectors check them for weapons. And there is always the possibility that somewhere in the crowd is an unwanted person, a criminal, disgruntled employee, a jilted lover or a mental disorder patient on the edge, of those who could be dangerous for our safety.
