Comdex Bans Bags From Show Floor

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 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.
