Around 2014, I was at a dance competition for my kids. While everyone was outside I stood in front of the venue and just watched for a little bit as people entered into the building for the competition. It was the only event going at the venue and I noticied a pattern that almost every eigth to tenth person walked in without a child. At first I tried to figure out whose child was theirs just as a mental exercise to pass the time. It made me think how great it was that such competitions occur within the community and are open to the public to come in and watch. It is a great way for people to get exposure to other arts and activities that they themselves, or their children could participate in. Having served within security as long as I have I also considered the potential danger this could pose. I did some research and indeed found that predators have in the past used events like these to find their next victim either through direct contact or through video or photography of unknowing participants. At the time AI and ML weren't available in the manner that it is today and the computing resources needed to perform advanced security on that type of scale were too costly for me to puruse my ideas further.
