    Citing one line by Outlaw09:
    all indications of virtually no security in place when he simply walked into the building when the performance was over....
    From my media watching that is simply wrong. The bomb went off in a public area, the venue's foyer is adjacent to and open to a train station concourse. He did not access the concert venue itself. The bomb detonated as the early concert leavers entered the public area, but the singer gave one more final son so most people stayed inside.

    Added next day, the NYT report has photos and a diagram of he location.

    That is why the British Transport Police, who cover the railway network, had initial primacy as it was in their jurisdiction. The BTP always have a uniform presence at such a station.

    On the move more maybe later.
