What I was thinking. It's becoming as bad as the damn airport now.

They never heard of that shoe bomber? Get with it....

Two zip-lock Glad bags. You pour the pint into one and seal it, then put it another one and seal the second one. Then it can go anywhere: down the pants, jacket lining, or duct-taped to your gut or back. Guards can pat right on it and not suspect a thing.

(Old UW Madison trick)

Scotch mule.

In your belly.

Are they going to ask me to turn my head and cough?

All because of a hillbilly taser toting Dallas fan.

Need to dig up the "Why I hate the Cowboys" thread and move this into the top 5 reasons.

They were going to have you remove your shoes too but Jets ownership lobbied for ankles up when Rex Ryan volunteered to work a gate.

I guess I don't understand how this is enforceable. All the articles I've read on it say the same thing: it is the NFL's "recommendation" that this be done.

Or what?

The articles all say they are "recommended guidelines." The articles then say the NFL "requests fans be patient" and blah blah blah.

You know, they are making a sh*t-ton of money off of us, do they really need to insist on any search procedures? Why not let us assume our own risk, since we're the ones making them filthy freaking rich.

Had a blast at the last game, but the 45 minute line to get in was a real buzz-kill.

I hope stadiums tell the NFL to go blow snot on this one.

Why?

Exactly. Why do it.

I can think of only one shooting in a stadium, and it was in that stupid 1970's disaster movie where the bad guy had a rifle on a stadium rooftop.

It wasn't even a scary movie.

Won't someone please think of the children.

Now that's just damn funny!

The current pat down is a joke, at least at Lambeau it is. So this will be a 2 second longer joke.

It's all a joke.

In the ATL, they make you remove your cap before entering Turner field.

For years, now. Why, I don't get.

I've never heard of a "cap bomb", and there's not enough room to hide booze.

Sure it's a joke but you can't please the masses. If thorough pat-down searches take place, people will be screaming about how their rights have been violated or whatever.

If no searches take place and an incident happens involving a weapon, the same people will be screaming about how nothing was done to protect their security.

Look at the incident that just happened with a TASER. You can clearly hear somebody ask how the person got into the stadium with a weapon, especially on 9-11.

The bottom line is most people don't want to be subject to proper pat-down searches for various reasons but by God they want a safe environment...just don't **** with me to get the job done.

The end result is what we have seen at NFL stadiums over the past few years. Half ass pat-downs just to say it was done... but the reality is a guy could walk into Lambeau Field with a gun without any trouble at all.

the above in spades.

this may be true but quit writing about it. the ultra reality is that a person could walk into ANYWHERE with a gun without any trouble at all. you wanna get frisked before you walk in the super market? might as well - people are gathered there and we must be safe safe safe! you want to go to a movie? gotta get frisked and scanned - it's a gathering of people. as for me, it's a crazy world and you cannot guarantee safety. roll the dice, use your wits and take your chances. the ride is over either way in a pretty quick manner.

Coach, they have you remove your hat because they learned from concerts that after they started frisking everything else people started stashing their stash under their hat.

I hope, HOPE, that cooler heads prevail at Lambeau.

There is speculation that DHS wants airport body scanners at all major sporting events and shopping malls eventually. This looks like the first step.

Why?

Because it accomplishes nothing but waste time getting into the stadium. If you feel that unsafe, then stay home.

SASSY

Make people attend the game stark naked, and then they can't hide anything.



You could always hand out standard-issue Snuggies at the gate if you're worried about nudity showing up on TV.

I must have missed all of the petitions circulating and demonstrations going on in protest of all the shootings taking place inside stadiums the last 10 years.

Living under a rock I guess.

Meanwhile, you're full of crap.

It's also the principle of thing, Pablo. In my opinion, it's un-American.

(I realize I don't speak for all Americans.)

This country has been cowering in fear for 10 years and 6 days. I just think it's time to stop.

You're off by a month, but I share the sentiment on the principle.

Never mind that all this security theater is a tax on our time, the one thing we can never get back.

Um, ok.

yeah sorry Pakrz I'm full of piss and vinegar here today

and I'm a dumbass I thought it was October!

Thanks for the catch, I changed it using the edit function.

Now no one will know.

Just show up with a jello mold in your crotch.

You deliberately changed it just to make me look stupid.

You lost me. Then why do you need everyone searched to go to the ballpark?

The Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments.

Edit: you asked for only one, so it would have to be the Fifth.

Not much of a Fourth left anyway.

No apology needed. I think it's a safe bet you and I are like oil and water on this topic so it's probably best to just leave well enough alone on the public forum.

Roger that.
