the_arsonist Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Opening the crates would be a real pain in the arse - even having to tape them up again they still can come apart. Surely if they're sealed you're not going to be able to stash weapons in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people were questioning why I'm taking duct tape Can't go to a festival without it. Logic dictates that all staff being searched is a trial run for the main gates to give searchers practise and to help improve the efficiency of the searches. To physically check every bag on the way in means 10s of 1000's of people stood stationary in record breaking temperatures for hours on end. The number of people being searched will be dramatically more than previous years but they can't stop everyone without there being a huge potential disaster in terms of people suffering from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

If you have a bag that you're double locking and strapping up they will take it apart bare in mind this is only if you're taken to have your stuff searched - but then again there appears to be much more security than usual - even today with just staff on site there is a lot of security around. it doesn't seem like they are looking for drugs though - I think their priority is to check for weapons or anything else havent seen any dogs about but I guess they won't be in till wednesday. i'm working on gate A Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday morning so if you see me say hi do you choose who to search or what ?

I would take their number for their rudeness. I am fine with the searching if that is what they have been told to do but they need to be reminded of some people skills otherwise there will be queues of pissed off punters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
