what changed? FR didn't exist 10 years ago but the events did so why do the events need FR now?


I would guess because it was a lot more difficult and costly to handle those threat 10 years ago.

Maybe because the FR industry is the one that's delivering those death threats?


Yeah, 10 years ago a venue receiving threats had to purchase additional insurance, hire additional security, and run a SWAT team like surveillance operation. After that became routine, every venue that can host any gathering of any size became a security sink that ate attention and distracted potential opportunities as public levels of casual violence simply skyrocketed to the levels we see today.


Can you point me towards any sources that show skyrocketing levels of casual violence?


Does the SWAT perform surveillance?
