Security Guards

Here at Wise Panda, we don't quite understand it, we would like to, but we just can't. What can't we understand you might ask? The presence of university security guards, a position more often than not taken up by individuals that may be referred to as "useless idiots" (Reuters).

Lets consider the many possible reasons for necessitating a person to stand beside a door. Perhaps terrorism is the worry, understandably, I mean we wouldn't want another 9/11 going on here, and what with universities being such priority targets for suicide bombers. But wait, the selection criteria for those who are permitted passage into the university follows a series of hard interrogation techniques that consists of:

1. Can i see your ID?
2. If you don;t have ID, you can come in anyway, just write a name on this paper

Maybe I'm the first one to spot this flaw in what is clearly a highly sophisticated system, if this place blows up after this blog post is published, I'll take the blame.

So then, perhaps this is about theft, the theft of a marketing theory book perhaps, which are so hard to come by these days, but then theres an extremely annoying sound that occurs in the library every time someone tries that.

So then, what is it, maybe they are concerned that someone may slip in and steal themselves an education, but that cant be right seeing as education costs are covered in this country anyway. I'm at a loss here, the only explanation for these people is that they are part of some kind of rehabilitation or community service programme that requires standing in one place and asking pointless questions.
