Security checks at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo site will be simpler than those at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games so that Expo visitors will feel free and comfortable, a senior Expo official said yesterday, Shanghai Daily reported.

Visitors will be able to buy tickets and enter the Expo site without showing ID cards or registering their names, Zhang Keqin, director of the Legal Department of the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, said at the fifth 2008 Shanghai Expo Legal Forum.
