The park security has definitely decreased in the last few years.
It used to be that all bags had to be checked, etc. The process to get through the gate is a breeze now.
Not that gate security would have done much to prevent last year’s violence.

Because they started using the new style detectors that don’t require bag checks. Disney and other parks also use them these days. Even the Pirates just announced they’re switching to them and don’t require bag checks anymore. Don’t see the DA threatening to shut down the Pirates opener.

I recall from when the shooting happened, a bunch of people who worked there said those detectors either didn't work properly or the employees aren't trained to use them.

They did upgrade the metal detector, which was supposed to stream line the process and be safer. I can not confirm if it is in fact safer.
