LAZY Security Guards again!

Not only years but days that they won't be strict again after the incident. At times the manual inspection is not always accurate and yet not all people are willing to be patient when guards are working hard on it. I would really advised that detector must be really a requirement so that it could avoid hassle as well. The culprits has their dirty tactics already and they already know how could they do the trick to avoid the inspect of the security guards.

Hell hath no fury with a woman scorned. I saw that on the news, the woman is so desperate in brokenhearted because her husband left her for another woman. She shall have filed a lawsuit against them instead of trying to kill him. There are so many fish is in the sea or she can still be happy without a man on her side as long as she takes care of her children. Now who will take care of her children.

They are rent a cops and I am sure they do not make all that much money. But I am not sure why. People do not fear athority anymore so i think that security guards need to look and act more of the part to at least scare people. People are weird these days. Something in the water is messing with our brains and amygala.

I was about to post a discussion about this, but you already made one. Anyways Letran, she's not an ex-wife. She's the legal wife. They're not separated with that guy. The security guards' tasks are not that easy. If there's someone who should be blamed, it's the head of the security or are the ones who are making commands to the security guards. In an interview with my classmates to the head of the security in our school, she said that security guards aren't allowed to check extremely or whatever the word is the bags. People should also realized that when too much inspection happens, all they did was to complain. Somehow, I don't understand the cycle. When the security is tight, almost every one complains. When something happened just because the security is not that tight, almost every one also complains. What's really our stand?

My dad's so annoyed with how lax security is at malls, they just jab their drumsticks inside your bag, without really looking, and then you're free to go. My dad once asked a guard in the LRT after jabbing his bag with a drumstick, "Ang galing ng mga Pilipino no? Yung mga stick may detector. I tusok mo lang sa bag isang beses alam na kung may bomba o wala" (Aren't the Filipinos good? Drumsticks have detectors. You just have to stick it inside the bag and it can detect if there's a bomb). The guard stared at him, wanting to reprimand him, but he can't cause he didn't say he has a bomb. They just looked carefully at his bag and glared at him

I guess I can't blame them. There are maybe thousands of people entering a mall a day and we can't expect everyone one person to be inspected thoroughly. That may result for you to be waiting an hour before you can even enter the mall. But I have a suggestion though. Maybe the malls can install something like a scanner that can show an image like an x-ray. Like in the airport. The guards can see what is inside the bag even without opening it. That can make our malls a little bit safer. And for the guard, maybe he did his job, maybe not. Maybe he got tired during that time. But I'm sure he will be kicked out of his job, poor person.

I agree, they are lazy and have no consistency. At one time when incident like this happens, they would be strict, but would be lenient again after a few months,not even a year!

I used to see them more often years ago. I do think alot of them have become lazy now though. Alot of people just do not do their job anymore that they were hired for.

This is another shocking news. I just hate violence. Anyway, I find most securities in malls very lax. Sometimes it seems that they are just pretending to check the people going inside the mall. Most of them even seems to be tired of their jobs. I just hope all securities will be consistent in checking belongings to avoid another incident like this.

Definitely, experienced terrorist could pass through them so easily. They wouldn't even have the slightest idea that they are not only endangering themselves but also the people inside the mall.

Hi Letran Knight: When I leave my job I can see the body guard of my neighbor and it seems that he sometimes is not paying too much attention. He is working ok but at the same time, let's face it, this must be probably one of the most boring jobs on earth. you lose concentration and is very difficult for a single person to keep doing the same thing for hours . I can understand this even if this leave us to security problems ALVARO

hi, for me i think being laziness of them are natural but of course their work is too hard and they need more attention for being responsible because they are the security guard,during that incident they became more negligence and result to bad because of their being irresponsible security guard.

There's a point where security guards becomes lazy to do their tasks because their work is so routinary and becomes so boring. All they need is a constant reminder and encouragement from their handler to keep their performance up to par. It's the same with our school security, where they check the incoming people's bags but instead of thoroughly checking, they just ask you to open them and insert their sticks as if it has a screening power. This kinds of work ethic should always be reported to their commander given that their work is to keep everybody safe.

LAZY? really? OH NO why were they hired. Around where I live all the security guards are always watching and spying that it actually gets me annoyed but i guess it's better for them to be this way because look what happen in this incident. Ugh lazy b@stards
