An anonymous reader writes "A Canadian theater chain has been sued for an abusive search for camcording equipment. A Montreal woman is seeking $60,000 in damages for the search, which comes after the Canadian government caved to US pressure and enacted anti-camcording legislation."

  1. Use technology to not inconvenience her by Ang31us · · Score: 5, Funny
    If she's hot enough, I would use infrared camera to search her bag and see through her clothes (to make sure she's not hiding a camera, of course).

    I'm a big fan of a greyscale night-vision mode with an infrared filter on a sunny day at the beach myself.

    If she's not so hot, someone else can search her while I record the movie on my fancy camera.

    but look on the bright side, the version of simpsons the movie you just watched contains a laugh track.
