[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 340123, member: 735"] Security for games is almost all smoke and mirrors. Primarily keeps law abiding citizens from carrying weapons into games, for which there is some reason to do. Doesn't prevent criminal carry but most criminals aren't coming to our games at least. So it does help discourage joe dumbarse from carrying drunk etc. Having said that it has always been easy to carry a gun or knife into the stadium despite what the laws in the state have stipulated. This was true Saturday also. I don't "carry" to games but almost always have a folding knife or two on me, including to our home games. The guy that "wanded" me at the game didn't detect my medium size Swiss Army, small multi tool, or my larger spyderco. No doubt in my mind he wouldn't have detected my handgun either if I had it on me at the time. Tech should have provided notice of new security measures to fans. Had they done so I'd have left my knives in my vehicle. If they had detected them and I had been forced to walk all the way back to my parking location....I'd have been highly pissed. But it's all smoke and mirrors for the most part. I could bypsss most venues security if I really wanted to just by viewing their focus / practices for a few minutes prior to entering. True at games, six flags, and Disney. Even if security was actually more effective it would do little to slow a mass casualty attack of a determined party. Scary but true. [/QUOTE]
