And will there be 'officers' on site / on duty to monitor this?

 

Will they have the authority to confiscate keys?

 

How many fights will happen?

 

Easy answer 'a lot'. Then weapons will take front and centre.

 

What a totally crazy idea!

Don't worry. This will all be forgotten next week, as has last week's unenforceable rule that although the bars can stay open until 4 they are not allowed to sell after 2. Imagine - bars that can't sell alcohol, a world first I expect. But now quietly forgotten. There'll be another hair-brained idea to ignore and forget next week.

Very valid point... As has the 'additional International Departure fee'....   that everyone was going to be charged...  first announced for June, then pushed back to September... then nothing...   (unless its silently being added to our tickets).
