I'm going to the Stones concert in Louisville KY tomorrow, and I was wondering how tight the security is at the concerts. Being a teenager, I've never been to a Stones concert before (I'm REALLY excited)and I was just wondreing are there lots of cops there and other stuff like that.... |

Yes. Expect a full body cavity search. Be very careful with what you bring as they WILL take it. Follow all the rules on yer ticket! |

Follow Glencar's advice.
Funny, but last night after the show as I was leaving the stadium after a visit to the unsanitary porta-potties I noticed a handful of NJ's finest walking around with automatic weapons, not slung on their shoulders but in their hands. That would be a first for me at a concert. Made me extremely nervous for a moment. |

It varies by venue. They patted us down at Gillette. Most places search handbags and look at you really hard. Lots of cameras get in, but it is a risk to take one since the tickets usually say "No Cameras/No Recording" on them.
What are you thinking of taking in?

A camera? The one thing I hate the most at concerts is people, especially novices, trying to take pictures next to me while I am trying to enjoy the show.

I wouldn't be one of those anoying people, I would just take a couple of pictures of me being there before the show started, then watch the show. It would be hard to watch if I was taking pictures every 2 seconds, gosh that would be anoying.

Those annoying people with cameras are responsible for some of our interesting photos on various threads. They often end up as header photos. Some contribute; some bitch. |

I have contributed plenty - but there have been some tense moments when security floods my section and I am next to some idiot who doesn't know how to take pictures at a concert. It can place my contributions in jeopardy. |

You can't gain experience without doing it. Every "expert" was once a clumsy novice.

Ha Ha Ha I am not really talking about taking pictures anymore if you know what I mean but that has always irritated me when someone next to me starts shooting pictures, for some reason. |

In Switzerland, I took my digital camera in and they made me take out the batteries. Luckily, I had some spare ones. I always made sure the flash was off though, and didn't take too many pics. |

Dammit, somethng else we agree on. This is getting to be a bad habit.
On the issue of security: I have had consistent success placing the small items I wish to carry in inside my gloves and holding the gloves as I walk through security.
I hope security isn't reading this.

Fair enough. And while we're on subjects we agree on, I'm sure you think as I do that Islamic fundamentalist extremism is a real threat to our way of life. I happen to feel the same way about Christian fundamentalist extemism. How about you?
