Comdex Bans Bags From Show Floor

Posted by timothy on from the bring-large-hands dept.

ckd writes: "CNET is reporting that COMDEX organizers have a new security policy--no bags except vendor supplied plastic bags will allowed on the show floor. "While on-site, you should CARRY A PHOTO ID (DRIVER'S LICENSE OR PASSPORT) ON YOU AT ALL TIMES." They want you to leave your laptop in your hotel room, too! Oh, and no cameras at the keynotes, either. But they haven't announced that they're planning to strip search people ... yet."

    I want to strip search the booth babes! Like the ones that IOMEGA had a few years back ;-)

    although this might slow things down a lot

    Yea, especially since all those cock-sucking linux fucks insist on having 1269 needless servers/daemons in their startup script just so they can be 1337 and get more cock from their linux bum-chums.

    To whom it may concern,

    I have 14552 servers running, and have 27 of the 36 different window managers installed. I am running kernel 2.4.1.33.54.3.9083.pre38282.1388.alpha and it takes my computer 4 days to boot.

    I shall give you the opportunity to give me a 'salad tossing' at your convenience.

    Thanks,

    I own and operate a movie theatre. In common with all other theatres, I make my profit from the concession sales. The price that you pay for the ticket to get in to the show doesn't actually leave anything for "profit".

    Can you imagine what would happen if a lot of people started to bring their own popcorn and drinks to the show and quit purchasing it from the concession? The sound of a door being locked....

    • If bags are banned, how can chick geeks (of which I'm sure there are a few going to Comdex) possibly bring their purse or handbag in? Will they have to wear a stylish yet goofy-looking fanny pack, or would that count too

    Gee, maybe if you weren't such a lazy fuck, you could have read the actual security policy and found out. You lazy fuck.

    • "Anyone carrying a purse or fanny-pack will be asked to go through a security check"

    I can't wait for Slashdot to shut down due to a lack of funding, you know, from VA Linux (*cough* VA Software). If Slashdot can't keep trolling off its front page, it shouldn't expect no trolling on its comment pages.
