If True: This is Scary

From United Press International:

DALLAS, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- The Secret Service told Dallas police to stop
screening for weapons while people were still arriving at a campaign
rally for Barack Obama, a report said.

Police stopped checking people for weapons at the front gates of
Reunion Arena more than an hour before the Democratic presidential
hopeful appeared on stage Wednesday, the Fort Worth (Texas)
Star-Telegram reported.

Police said the order to stop using metal detectors and checking
purses and laptop bags constituted a security lapse, the newspaper
reported.
