Last year at nationals my team's advisor had his laptop stolen during the final ceremonies. No sooner did we notice that, when a few teams started to come by our pit area and tell us that they too had laptops and video camera's stolen. Nothing was ever found, because of the point stated many times already: how to distinguish a theif from a FIRST person? There's NO way to do it! People all look the same. Now unless they came in with guns and ski masks then nobody could tell the difference. Obviously people should follow Carolines rule of thumb and NOT leave their stuff all over the place, but I do think that since the national competition and all the regionals are such big events, and require a lot of technical equipment, that there should be some form of security. I dont know how they could go about doing this, but even after 9-11, what security measures are being taken?
