“As many as three men sparked a stampede at the theater by brandishing a leaf blower that some mistook for a chainsaw. In response, some movie chains in Orange County are beefing up security. Bags are being searched, pre-movie safety messages are aired and, in at least one theater in Southern California, metal detectors are deployed. Security is an issue for at least some movie fans. A recent survey of moviegoers by the research firm C4 for Variety found about one-third wanted theater lobbies to have both an armed guard and metal detectors. Nearly a third also wanted bags searched. Law enforcement in Orange County said Monday they are keeping an eye on movie theaters.”
