POLL: Should Movie Theaters Tighten Security in Wake of Colorado Shooting?

"Dark Knight Rises" was set to be one biggest movie releases of the summer.

No one expected the gunshots being fired on the big screen to be a real-life experience.

During a midnight showing in Aurora, Colo., 12 people were killed and at least 50 injured as a gunman opened fire during the final chapter of the "Batman" trilogy.

Forest Hills Patch reported Friday morning that the New York Police Department will tighten security at the five theaters showing "Dark Knight Rises," in order to ease the minds of patrons. NYPD told Patch it would also serve as a precaution against copycats.

Should law enforcement in South Carolina consider similar measures? Would you feel more comfortable going to see "Dark Knight Rises," if more security were provided?
