Asembly security questions

    I've been reading the comments on the recent district assemblies and I've got some questions about the WTBTS convention security teams.

    1) Is it a given that anyone who tries to get in without a convention badge is going to be carefully scrutinized? Questioned? Tailed?

    2) Are all of the security staff JWs, or to they hire for some of the positions? I have heard that they do hire armed guards for cash transport.

    3) Does the security crew use two way radio? Has anyone checked which frequencies they use?

    4) Would it be fairly easy to make a badge that looked a whole lot like an official badge? I'm not suggesting counterfeiting, but rather something that was close enough without being fraudulent.

    5) Has anyone tried attending with press credentials?

    On a side note: here in the United States, there is a friendly college rivalry between Harvard and Yale that is in part manifested in their annual (American) football game. The jovial hacker students at the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology use the annual game as an opportunity to display their talents in a nose-thumbing sort of way to the other two universities. One such instance was the secret placement of a little surprise shallowly buried in the playing field: a vacuum cleaner motor with an attached timer. Just when all of the Harvard and Yale attendees are waiting for the start of the game, the motor energizes and out of the ground comes a large balloon inflated by the motor. In bright silver letters on the side of the black balloon was: "MIT".

    If you could have a balloon inflated at a WTBTS assembly, what would you want painted on its side?

    Hahaha...I'd get Jackeroff and Slickdick's photo pasted on them first, tie a stick of dynamite to the end of the, tie the balloons together and send it over the "great crowd" gathered right as they all say in unison: "amen!" Then watch the "fallout"!

    Seriously

    I mentioned about the ticket thing on another thread, I think they came up with this, as there was a bomb scare two years ago at this place. It was only a hoax phone call, so how a little ticket will stop this I don't know.

    Way back when, I worked in security at districts assemblies, we would identify any persons we needed to tail. We looked for unusual dress, hair style, roamers that would hit on women, video equipment, anyone without literature. We always worked in twos in the event there would be an altercation and in the event we would need to file a report with the police, one would be a witness to the event.

    If you worked in security you were given a colored dot to put on your badge and the person you reported to had to personally know you. We were bouncers to escort all the speakers around.
