Security at the theater venue

I, too, agree with romani.

Our seats are only 6 seats from an exit which does gives me comfort.

About checking those exits – that’s exactly the convenience the Aurora shooter used:

Police said Holmes bought a ticket, entered the theater, and sat in the front row. About 20 minutes into the film, he left theater 9 through an emergency exit door beside the movie screen, with direct access to the lightly used parking area at the back of the complex, while propping the door slightly open with a plastic tablecloth holder. There were about 400 people inside theater. Holmes then went to his car, which was parked near the exit door, changed into protective clothing, and retrieved his guns. About 30 minutes into the movie, police say, around 12:30 a.m., he reentered the theater through the exit door.

Anyone who is bent on this kind of destruction will find a way. It’s the same delusion people who live behind gates often feel. I live in a gated community. The gates are only an inconvenience to the people who live here. They do not deter any type of crime.
