I went in around 4pm and other than the dog handler, who was clearly power tripping, everyone was fairly chill. I think after 2 hours of solid checking people on a whim and not finding anything, maybe they'd lost some of their vigor. 

I doubt you'd get much out of complaining, although the searches were filmed, so you never know.  My feeling is, unless you could prove the handlers were either targeting people or straight making sh*t up, there's little that can be done. 

Yeah this was my experience (on The Strokes day). The handler was trying to play the bad cop bully and was totally full of it ("where are the drugs?!??" "Errr... I don't have any drugs", "the dog says otherwise"), while everyone else was just doing their job.

I don't *think* she was profiling, just thrusting the dog at people and getting a trickle through to be searched. Maybe she's on a target.

My idea? Put her on a commission next time based on drugs found: people searched. Might make her a bit more discerning.

    • Yeah credit where it's due, that's a really good price to try and help get people in.   Most of my early football games were to see West Brom as my uncles are Baggies. Did a few trips to the Hawthorns, Luton, MK Dons, did most of the London grounds between Championship + Prem.
    • would you be able to post the statement? I can’t seem to find it 
    • I worked Wilderness for Oxfam this weekend. I was very lucky as my shift was in the arena on Sunday afternoon & I saw all of Annie's set.   I echo every word. She was brilliant. The Legend slot is made for her.
    • Seeing more stuff about Madonna turning down glasto for three nights in London, what do we reckon? Likelihood looking low now or keep the faith? 
    • Do we think there is realistic chance Sziget could get cancelled? I'm reading about Hungarian energy crysis and many measures and prohibitions due to this.    They relesed a statement and comment section is on fire..
