Assignment:
The purpose of this assignment is to determine the types of safety or security measures that must be considered for large events and to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of hiring independent security management contractors for the event.

- What are the consequences of each "what if" situation and who is affected?
- Describe how each of the suggested "what if" challenges could be overcome.
