Theater Chain Doubles-Down on Unreasonable Search Policy…
GRNC supporters have been receiving chain letter replies to their concerns about being searched while attending movies shown in Regal theater outlets.
“…backpacks and bags of any kind are subject to inspection prior to admission. We acknowledge that this procedure can cause some inconvenience and that it is not without flaws, but hope these are minor in comparison to increased safety.”
Regal considers their clear violation of patrons’ privacy a “minor inconvenience”, as if this is a trifling matter. Also troubling is their assertion that rendering innocent people defenseless in “gun free” theaters somehow makes them “safer”.
Unfortunately for movie goers, those intent on mass murder are more cunning than theater management. Even psychotic murderers will find no problem identifying dozens of obvious ways around Regal’s half-baked search policy. A sense of false security is arguably more dangerous than no security at all.
