Maybe a future question for venue operators is whether all attendees will be going through a metal detector/scanner on admission?



That reminded me of something that happened to(?) my wife some years back.

We were all heavily into competitive martial arts. Everyone in the family is at least a 2nd degree black belt in TKD and various levels of other martial arts. I've been teaching self defense to LEO's for a couple decades.

Coincidentally, we started accumulating all sorts of violent looking weaponry.

Now, some of you have seen pics of Ruthie now so you can imagine 15 years ago. She looked like a 5'11" version of Wonder Woman or Sheena Queen of the Jungle. In other words, nobody's victim. She also carried around a small armory with a collapsible baton, butterfly knife, you name it.

Then comes the call for jury duty.

So, the court house has a metal detector. Her purse fails miserably. So, she dumps the contents. She said the guards actually flinched when they saw all the weaponry. She apologized and said she had forgotten the 'tools'.

At this point the ever-so-diligent guardians of the courthouse scooped everything back into her purse, handed it to her, and sent her on into the courthouse.

I had to wonder what they'd have to find to turn you away.
