The Bataclan and the Stade de France

The dreadful killing of 90 people at the Bataclan in Paris on Friday 13th, and 40 more in coordinated attacks around Paris, has of course been in the news over the last week. Many others were injured too. One person was killed by a suicide bomber outside the Stade de France; thanks to the security guards the bomber was not able to get into the stadium. 
James and I were at the Stade de France to see Roger Waters' The Wall on 21st September 2013. I remember being annoyed at the time about how long it took to get through security. 
How wrong I was - if security at the Stade de France wasn't so rigorous then even more innocent people would have been killed last Friday.
