I find it quite weird that you're putting "free for all" as an alternative to armed guards at a conference. There's a whole spectrum in between that conferences happily operate in in other places. Like having gates / pass checks, but without involving armed security. I've never seen that before and hope never will.

Sorry for the confusion, there was a spectrum. I don't think we're in disagreement here, you may be envisioning things that were not happening.

To clarify, Security Guards checking badges wore suit jackets and did not appear to be armed. They mostly said things like "please turn your badges forward", "sorry you can't go in there yet, only [X] badges right now". The few people with the bomb sniffing dogs I think were armed. The people that were very clearly armed were outside the conference standing at the vehicle barricades, there were a limited number of them.

I meant a spectrum where there huge events that don't have armed security but aren't "free for all" either. Those two are extreme positions.
