Reply #44: I think frisking is pretty routine [View All]

Sometimes they are more vigilant than others.

Years ago I snuck a reasonably large sony tape recorder (D-6) and mic into a New Order show. I got one helluva frisk from the burly female security guard. I thought she was a tad familiar even for the job and when she found the recorder in my crotch her face turned visibly red, clearly embarrassed she passed me on through. :)

It could've easily been a weapon - of course in those days awareness of potential violence was not as high as it is today.
