Please by all means tell me why security was so lax at an event with FIVE top people in the administration and when a war is going on.

Let's look at logistics

There have not been one, but two purported attempts previously. That, alone, should call for very tight and heightened security.

- only cursory looks at tickets

- Tickets to the dinner only had table numbers written on them and not the actual names of guests. Identification was not checked at any point for those entering the hotel

- Guests making their way to the dinner went down escalators from the main lobbies, before going through a security checkpoint

- Why was vance removed before trump.

- Why did a person who considers the press an enemy, and who has never attended this event before do so now? It doesn't scan.

- conveniently happens when approval ratings are at an all time low and trump wants his golden goose

I will type up an answer to your other question later (gotta head to work)
