This has nothing to do with the mayor but with a security team that does not know what they are doing.

It's just a clickbait title to get reactions

That is awesome, you cannot bring a pi but you can bring a phone that can do all the things and more. Or social engineering, just look like you belong there and you can do almost anything.

Funny it's listed by name. Banana Pi is fine, guys.

Shows that he's one of those people who doesn't understand the underlying categories of electronics, just the brands.

Same energy as people calling every game console Nintendo. Or calling every doorbell camera a Ring Camera. Or calling every tablet an iPad.

Same energy as moms calling every game console Nintendo.

Or every Pokemon "Pikachu".

So this is the experience hiccups we are expecting to see. Hopefully they get some techies on board to sort them out so they don't look like idiots on bigger items

Has anyone made a flipper zero case with a knife attached to it so I can finally start using my flipper for crime?

This isn’t news. New headline: “new mayor knows how to protect others and himself for a single night”

Different type of evil which is easier to defend against. Think about it instead of ransoming quoting something.

This is not him banning them. It's his security team, but someone wanted to make a catchy title

Presumably this was delegated, because why would he waste his time with inauguration event minutia? I think this makes a mountain out of a molehill.
