Irony? I'm not seeing it. You don't think there should be airport-style security to a site with the biggest Terrorist target on it? Or are you referring to the limited entry? I hope there will be no need for that sometime in the future, but for now they are limiting the space to 1500 people at a time. I don't think there's anything wrong with that limit, or with acknowledging that allowing 5000 people to cram in to that space would tend to defeat the comptemplative purpose of most of those visits.
