Security

Okay, I know the guard looks a bit tired in this photo but that's because I'm making him pose. We have around 12 of these guys guarding the restaurant at any given time and they do look imposing plus of course, they're all armed. The most sought after people / jobs are police, security, and bricklayers because that is what everyone wants. Firepower and strong walls.

To get into our hotel we have the car stopped at a barricade and then the hood and trunk are opened and checked. An explosive detector is passed around and under the car and sometimes the bomb sniffing dog is around. Then the fence is lowered and the other gate is raised and we go in the parking lot. Then there is first security screening which is only a metal detector and our bags are passed around. After that it is a full x-ray screening of bags and a second metal detector pass through. Inside the hotel it is one of the interiors where all the floors look down on the center lobby. So on the second and third floors, armed guards are positioned where they can fire on anyone who makes it inside the hotel with guns, car, suicide jacket, etc.

I'm trying to get a photo of the police checkpoints but they don't like you taking pictures and I never seem to be in the right place in the car to take a stealth photo.
