Bag Searches


Guest Fimble

Recommended Posts

I will be taking down a fair whack of alcohol whisky, vodka, gin and will put this is plastic bottles just in case.

My main concern is the various powders and pills I will be taking. They will be in plastic bags which I will then probably hide in a empy tub or something or a sealed bag/tube of crisps, biscuits etc.... and then place some of the orginal crisps or biscuits over the top. Does this sound safe enough that even if they were to search my bag they would miss them. Are they thorough with bag searches as in opening stuff up in your bag or is just a case of them shaking your bag a little. What are the chances of even having my bag searched? Im 18 by the way if this increases the chances? Also what would happen if they did find them?

Thanks for any information.

Bag searchers are pretty ruthless as of last year, and the security are a right bunch of cnuts.

I actually spoke to police woman who told me the security where being over zealous and calling them in for small amounts of drugs that should of been thrown in the bin, but once the police are involved they must take action unlike security they cant just throw them in a bin.

Here's a couple of jolly good tips for you;

(i) Put all your illegal substances in a zip lock bag, and coat one side with a sticky substance. Hold it in your hand, and prior to going past the bag searchy folks, slap it on the rucksack of the person in front of you, retrieving said items (if all goes well), after the checking desks.

(ii) Place your illegal substances in a bag attached to a helium balloon. Should you get pulled over for searching purposes, simply let go of the balloon. Somebody else may benefit from your loss, but at least it will avoid a night in the cells, and a missed festival (as yet, the security do not have air rifles, so the likelihood of them recovering the items and pinning them to you, are slim)

mate. don't post stuff like this in a public forum. the police have the internet too.

quite surprised about those two manchester lads. that is pretty bad.

if you're going to take drugs with you then be careful. if you're taking that much with you that you can''t think how to hide it, then you probably need to chill out a bit.

but more helpfully. bag checks are bag checks. and sods law is sods law. don't take chances.

I understand that some people see festivals as an opportunity to get off their heads...fine....but dont drag everbody else into your world. The fact that you are asking shows an immaturity that quite honestly beggers belief.....like many have said this is a public forum.

It reminds me of the old school bike shed mentality at the age of ten...."look I,ve got a whole packet of fags and I,m going to smoke them".

If your going to do drugs ....do it quietly and dont use this site to boast how clever you think :lol: you are.

I dont get riled very often but this thread is very annoying.

    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
