How will this counter terrorism?

The shorter a duration that an event is which draws masses of people together, then the less opportunity for any terrorists to have such a huge static target.

Intoxicated people are notoriously much more difficult to control should evacuation procedures become necessary, or if panic sets in - especially when en masse.

It all makes perfect sense to me.
