Critics are not surprised that one of the arrested terror suspects worked for Taylor Swift's performance at the Happel Stadium. The rules for security companies are far too lax, warns the trade union. The industry disagrees. Recent examples speak for themselves.

Lax laws, price wars, employees without training: The fact that the 17-year-old terror suspect who was arrested was possibly able to plan an attack on the Taylor Swift concert "from the inside" as an employee of a security company is no coincidence in the view of the vida trade union. The lack of a strict legal framework for security service providers, which has been demanded for years, makes them a "loophole for terror".
