Security at OSH

[Lrrryo]

All,

I'm TOTALLY against the bag search or any search at the entry point of OSH. Serves NO purpose and don't by people that don't even know what they are looking for. We are being searched to death for absolutely NO reason. What the F are they looking for, and whatever it is, they won't stop us from bringing it in regardless.

How do we stop this nonsense and prevent it from getting worse? I'd say write to all the EAA officials and let them know we won't stand for it.

As much as I love OSH, this could be a deal killer for me in the future.

It's probably an insurance requirement honestly.

At one checkpoint, I opened the main compartment on my backpack. They asked me specifically if I had any alcohol. I said no and there was no further interest in searching my backpack.

Entry screening in various forms is commonplace these days at so many different public events, I can't say I fret much over it at all.

I'm wondering if you have the same attitude when attending any professional sporting event where bag checking is commonplace? NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, etc.

[Lrrryo]

NO,
I don't attend those events. I value MY security and privacy too much!

Nope,
Don't attend those, as I value MY security and privacy too much. We worked TOO hard to get this and we're loosing it.

The strange thing is they sell alcohol in the camp stores. Go figure.

I agree it's a pain but as sad as it is, this is the times we live in now. We've created enough enemies around the world that security at major events like Oshkosh is a must now. I'm glad they do it and agree it could be more effective if done properly. The volunteers do the best they can and should be commended for all the hours and hard work they put in. We couldn't have Oshkosh without them. That said professional security might be a sound improvement for bag checks.

Only been to AV a couple of times, never been searched and wouldn't mind if I was. The times I have been searched at airports I gladly comply, I'll strip down if that's what they want. I used to work nuclear outages, back pack goes through the x-ray, pockets emptied then walk through a scanner. If the scanner beeps, you do it again and if it beeps again, prepare to remove belt, shoes and be frisked. But I never did get felt up dang it !!
