=== <span class="faq-question">Do they carry weapons for protection? </span> === | |||
No, for legal reasons. | |||

=== <span class="faq-question">Can't one climb in through a window and open the door for the other?</span> === | |||
No. They aren't allowed to force entry, or be destructive to a property; they have to get in however ingress is possible. They also don't carry any tools with them that, if found on them by security or police, could be viewed as meant to be destructive to property. | |||
