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.
Dallas Deputy Police Chief T.W. Lawrence -- who heads the department's homeland security and special operations divisions -- told the Star-Telegram the order had been intended to speed up seating of the more than 17,000 people who came to hear the candidate speak.
Lawrence said he was concerned about the large number of people being let in without being screened, but that the crowd seemed "friendly," the newspaper said.
Several Dallas police officers -- speaking on condition of anonymity because the order came from federal officers -- told the newspaper it was worrying to see so many people get it without even a cursory inspection.
The Star-Telegram said the Secret Service did not return a call seeking comment.

There's something seriously screwed up about a country that has to screen people for weapons at that sort of event.

8th cousins? That's a fair link that is. I couldn't give a f**k who the next PrezEdent of the USofA is related to as long as he isn't such a complete 2@ as Bush and as f**king evil as that w***ers administration.
You used to speak the truth.
But now you're clever.

You were searched? Hope you weren't carrying any Canto-punani pics.

The searching at the Sevens is about revenue protection - it's simply to stop you bringing your own food and drink so that they can rip you off for cheap beer and dodgy hotdogs.

Funny - I wondered the same thing when he started to take the lead over Hillary. I don't know if he is a member of the club, but if not, then I would bet on him not lasting very long.

in the Phillippines you go thru metal detectors and being patted down just to go to the grocery store, cinema, or shopping mall.
