I found the bag searches at the entrance gates annoying, and pointless.
Is security searching every baggage compartment, in every aircraft ?
I object, quite strongly, to the searches.

Gotta nab those pesky terrorists...
Welcome to the USSA...
Bag searches are a necessary evil in the world today.
I personally would NOT attend an event like Oshkosh, or fly Commercially, if there WERE NOT conducting bag search security procedures.
Unfortunately, gone are "the good old days"

I don't recall ever having my backpack searched going into Airventure ......
What about all the scary stuff that pilots, or vendors, can sneak in ?
They sell knives in the Fly Market ? OMG, it's a deadly weapon !
We're all just getting a little paranoid, in my opinion.
Of course a terrorist would carry his wares through a main gate where his bag would be subject to search. (insert eye roll here.....)Originally Posted by I_FLY_LOW
It's all about punishing the honest, law abiding citizens who put up the least amount of resistance to this nonsense.
A necessary evil?
That's not acceptible, to me...
Funny thing is its only at the main gate. Carrying a brick of C4 today? Go in a side entrance. Also found it interesting they only searched 2 of 5 compartments in my backpack.
Would be kind of funny if a guy was dragging a bag full of dirty underwear out to his plane.
I wore my backpack through the main gate multiple times, without being stopped. They stopped a bunch of people around me, but apparently, the dark grey straps and black backpack I was wearing were rendered invisible since I was wearing a white shirt. ;-) I think procedures like these are silly. If someone wants to bring in a weapon or bomb, there are a thousand other ways.
I've never had a bag searched. And I come every year, every day.
I saw a lot of bags being searched, but mine wasn't. My husband asked if they wanted to check our chair bags, but the worker declined. I thought that was a little odd - you could probably put a long/thin weapon of some sort inside those chair sleeves..
