What the heck? Firearms at the MCG

[Satan]

Yep, I'm dreading it already.

I just sent video to a pie friend

I mean not that I'm an expert or anything but gangbangers/criminals are dodgy as vuck and fairly obvious what type of characters would be carrying weapons by just a quick glance at them. The security hired can't be that oblivious, wouldn't surprise me if they were mates with some of them and it's how these stooges managed to avoid their guns been detected.

I havent been to the MCG in 10 years. If they arent scanning for weapons, what are they scanning for ?

The AI scanners are & they did in this situation alert further investigation was required by the security guys with the wands. They didn't follow through.

Machetes and motov cocktails

 

[GreyCrow]

You know there will be a cartoon somewhere with various ethnicities lining up with bombs, rocket launchers and assorted visible weapons with the tag line being '' All good - next''

Beach balls and vodka filled watermelons.

It's a legitimate and factual event.

Fair point. Accepted

Surely not sustainable long-term. Feel that after a few games it will go back to standard operating procedure once the security company feels they have saved enough face.

Went to the mcg yesterday, security didn't even
Search me and my 21 year old son,
We walked straight in to scan our tickets

Walking in naked eliminates the need I guess

They still trust the scanners, anyone who got flagged got searched pretty thoroughly.

Not sure of others' Gather Round experiences, but we waltzed in with the same minimal "What have you got in your bag? Sandwiches and water? Yeah okay" scrutiny as normal.

Any Big Scary Militant Crackdown seemed to last 1 full round from what I could tell.
