My bag was packed as tight as possible. Police guy was so focused on trying to determine if I was smuggling in contraband via the bag that he failed to check any of my 6 pockets. I think that the gate inspections are more for show than effective screenings of the "customers".
I'll tell you what makes it easier....profiling. Billy Bob isn't bringing in a pipe bomb. Let him through and let's move on lol.
I'll assure you that neither my wife nor the 75 year old lady behind us looked suspicious. Both were told they could not bring their tiny wrist purses.... Until the old lady was given a zip lock to put it in.
That's what I'm sayin. Your wife and the old lady really don't meet the criteria of the problem. I'm suggesting we "profile" a little bit and skip the 75 year old ladies lol. Unless she's wearing a sheet or something...
I wouldn't be surprised if every middle eastern looking person within a mile radius of the stadium has been noticed and their every movement is being monitored and thoroughly evaluated. That one truck that parks just up the hill from Gate 15 looks like a million dollar investment by the government. The scrutiny at the gates might could just be a smoke screen or whut not.

First time bringing a bag to the game and my wife wants to know if this clear bag will work? I think it's 11' X 4.5" x 12". I really do not want to walk back to the car so I'm hoping this one will be fine lol.
