Safer Malls

Omaha’s Westroads Mall, where a 19-year-old went on a shooting spree Wednesday killing eight people (and then himself), reopened Saturday morning with “increased security.”

They didn’t specify what this “increased security” entailed; but realistically, what could they do — and for that matter, does anything need to be done at all?

I’m interested in your comments, but not here: I’m toying with the idea of moving the crime site to a blog format similar to this one, so please pop over to the new Crimeweek site (there’s also a place for feedback about the site itself).
