So, while Ozpin's group was aware that an attack could happen, they didn't want the civilians to be able to figure that out. Paranoia would draw the Grimm.

It's entirely possible that most people wouldn't think that anyone would have the audacity to attack a festival that's all about peace and unity. We, however, live in a world where we wouldn't put it past other humans to perform some kind of vicious attack regardless of the occasion. We live in a world where the worst monsters in existence are other people, while they live in a world where the worst monsters (as far as they're aware) are Grimm I'm not saying why wasn't it put in place before this festival, I'm asking why wasn't it in place for the very first one. A vast amount of people who are going to have different idealogies and etc. are coming togather in one city. Unless they got relaxed left everything up to the huntsmen and the academies. I don't understand how a simple registry to at the very least make sure everyone is who they say they are.

I'm operating along the lines that in WoR, if people don't actively fight for their survival, they can be shitty to each other. Proof being the Faunas Revolution.

@Spirit: That doesn't explain why he would be allowed to go all the way to Mistral after nearly being executed. They'd immediately start questioning him to make sure they have evidence to try Yang for assault. You don't let the someone integral to a case immediately go outside their jurisdiction.
