Hundreds of revelers coming days going out, should consider stricter access controls. Numerous concert halls and concert halls have tightened security after the attacks in Paris.
According to some security experts, this is just the beginning; In many disaster plans is little about terrorists. Concert organizer Mojo did not hesitate after the drama in the Bataclan in Paris. The security of all concerts is screwed, Mojo announced a day later. There extra security guards walking around and visitors should be aware that they are extra searched. When the Prodigy concert Wednesday at the Ziggo Dome visitors were not even big backpacks bring indoors. ,, We have no illusions that we can prevent an attack using these measures, but it is good that we are extra vigilant, '' spokeswoman Marjanne Manders says.

Mojo is not the only organization that takes extra measures. The Gelredome and pop temple 013 Tilburg draw their conclusions. ,, If the public employees and performers feel safer if we control more strictly the door, then you should do it, '' says director Frens Frijns of 013. But that does not think about it every director. At Paradiso in Amsterdam everything remains as it was.
It should be clear: entertainment centers are struggling with what is now the best thing to do. According to CEO Nico Bezemer of eX: plain, creator of educational programs for the security industry, security guards can not do much more than extra vigilant. ,, Improved search and watch how people behave when entering is the best answer. Perhaps some people would like to see security guards get a weapon, but that is not the solution. With a handgun beginning you have nothing against people who come in with automatic weapons. ''
Weapons maybe going a bit far, but according to some security experts, it is not inconceivable that the tightening of security at concert halls is permanent, and perhaps even tighter. According to researcher Syan Schaap of expertise for event security Event Safety Institute, savers know at this point hardly what to do if a terrorist is at the door.
The majority of the guards followed the standard security staff training, sometimes with a course for Event Security Officer. In it they learn how to do access controls, how to frisk anyone can recognize conspicuous behavior and should occur with disturbances. ,, But that program is little attention for terrorists. ''
Risk
Sheep are not advocating that every security officer is trained to recognize terrorists. But there would be more focus on creating security plans.
The security at the door is now mainly determined by the public that there is. ,, It is hardly possible to determine whether the event is more than an increased risk of being hit by an attack. For example, it is broadcast on television or come VIPs? That probably increases the chance. ''
Many companies have considered according to Schaap most broadly about terrorism. But it does often. ,, It lacks the translation to the workplace. What should security guards do if there is an attack? Staff is insufficiently trained now. ''
