I can't imagine them hiring a 17 and 19 year old as security guards but ok

If its similar style security to the ones you get at a lot of UK music venues, the firms use zero hours/casual staff to fill numbers for large scale events - which would allow the 19 yr old to work

In general, I also think there need to better security checks… In Stockholm I wasn’t allowed to bring a bag with me, and I needed to empty my pockets…

In Munich however, bags were allowed, yes there were guidelines what you may bring and what not, but nothing was checked, only on my body, but I could’ve brought whatever in the bag

Ofcourse bad stuff can still happen, but at least I see it as a small improvement

It's not possible to manage every risk with big events, from what I recall Wembley has metal detectors at the entrances and they do bag checks as well. 

Aside from the obvious one thing these people are trying to do is scare us into not attending these kind of events, if we do then they win

In Warsaw last week there were multiple checks of tickets, ID and bags before you got anywhere near the stadium

There will be ample security at Wembley next weekend, it will be as safe as it reasonably can be.
