8 CONNECTION
BETWEEN TERRORISM & AN EVENT

- Events are often close to major transportation centers
- Events are big business
- Events impacts other businesses, such as restaurants, hotels & entertainment
- Events draw media coverage
- Events require tranquility or places where business can be conducted in a peaceful manner
 -Events must deal with people who have no history; thus, risk managers often do not have databases on attendees
 -Events are based on a constant flow of guests; thus, it is hard to know who is and who is not a terrorist
 -Events are the point where business & relaxation converge and, therefore, guests often let down their guard
