De informatie is vrij incompleet in het Tweakers artikel zelf. Quotende uit https://www.digitalmusicn...-pai-vegas-death-threats/
"According to a pair of sources on Capitol Hill, Pai’s security detail is now ‘untenable’ with ‘multiple, unsubstantiated death threats’ linked specifically to the Vegas itinerary. One source indicated that such threats are ‘routine for presidents and vice presidents’ but highly unusual for heads of government agencies like the FCC.
“There’s not the budget for staffing [CES] from threats of that level,” the second source relayed, noting that Pai’s security detail is ill-equipped to protect against snipers, attackers, bombs, gas attacks, vehicular blockades, and other assassination attempts. The Consumer Electronics Show is one of the largest conferences in the world, with hundreds of thousands crowding the city.
That creates constant gridlock, huge crowds, and increased vulnerability.
“Basically if these threats are credible, you need armored vehicles — and I mean plural — not to mention area sweeps, aerial support, and Secret Service directly manning the commissioner at all times,” one of the sources relayed."
Om goedkope reacties tegen te gaan, zou het goed zijn om dit soort informatie er ook bij te zetten - dat het om specifieke bedreigingen gaan, en niet slechts het type 'Ik ga jou dood schieten, haha."
