A comment on 20 years after 9/11: Will we ever stop taking our shoes off at airports?. Parent comment
When I was in college, campus security already banned a range of items at sports games. In 1989, they made national news for adding marshmallows to the list of banned objects: https://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/26/sports/michigan-to-ban-ma...
That suggests to me that college stadium security is mainly about policing mundane behavior at college stadiums, and very little to do with terrorism.
