True Heroes Today At Arizona Charlies

Today, a man walked into Arizona Charlies with a supposed bomb that was strapped to his chest.
From the Las Vegas Sun: "The incident began about 9:30 a.m. when a man walked into the front door of the casino at 4575 Boulder Highway, went over to the security desk and lifted his shirt, showing a security guard what he said was an explosive device, Sheahan said.
Security officers then called Metro and escorted the man out the north entrance of the casino, Sheahan said.
Metro officers handcuffed the man, then backed away until they could get help, he said."

Maybe it's me, but if I see a man with a bomb on his chest, I want to run in the opposite direction, probably after pooping in my pants.
But the security guards at Arizona Charlies walked the guy to the door. Metro officers arrived and handcuffed the suspect. They did this not knowing whether the bomb was a fake or not and knowing that the bomb could have gone off at anytime, killing them.
Fortunately, the bomb was a fake, but no one knew it at the time.
So, to the security at Arizona Charlies and the first arriving officers, you are true heroes and job well done.
