jon told the inquiry about his experience with a company unrelated to showsec. training standards are low. the course i was on was a disgrace. the trainer, quite openly, was saying, you know, if you're going to hit somebody, make sure you take them up a back alley where there's no cameras... that's assault. it's outrageous, absolutely outrageous. security guard: guys, | just show us in your bags? all right, great, thank you, cheers. so, how do you know whether you're at a venue which is taking security seriously like this one? you both together? are standards the same everywhere? there are some places where they have security outside and people are always watching what's going on, but there are also places that don't really take it seriously. just unzip the front pocket. if you go out to a bar or venue, you may have security checks,
