My experience with the yellowshirts this year was that one out of ten was incredibly friendly and helpful, while the other nine seemed basically incapable of doing much more than pointing in one direction. We asked one guy where the entrance to premiere camping was, and in spite of the fact that we were less than fifty yards from it not only could he not tell us where it was he couldn't even really form complete sentences.
No fucking joke, all we got was some helpless arm flapping and a sequence of half-syllables.

Oh hey, I do have a question though: do you know if anyone from Live Nation (other than yourself) monitors this board or the Facebook page?

I'm thinking we have one of the friendly helpful ones in this thread. I'd be surprised if the other nine know how to use a computer. no i do not know i doubt it otherwise they would ban water bottles. One day I got the full body search, and the dude inspected the cap on my water bottle. I told him he could open it, and that's when he stopped looking at it so closely. That security checker even pulled the wallet out of the back pocket of the guy in front of me, and inspected every pouch in the wallet. Gibbons apparently had a pint of booze stuck halfway up his ass, and the dude found it by grabbing his backside. The other three days, I was barely checked, but that guy took his job way too serious.

My wife had a flask in her bra Friday and Saturday which worked wonderfully, but on Sunday when they were doing extensive searches one of the girl yellowshirts actually told her to tug on her bra, so she did, but then she actually reached out and touched her right in the center of the chest to feel for "hard objects". Needless to say we didn't make it in with booze that day, but at least they let us keep our flask after we dumped all of it out. Hell, even the yellowshirt said that it's a painful thing to do.
I thought that by law they weren't allowed to touch a girl around the chest.

I've been searched before raves where someone actually put their just barely under the bottom of my bra and ran their fingers around to make sure there wasn't anything under there. (Its hard to explain =/) But its totally legal they just cant touch your crotch or like right on your boobs.

Interesting. So does it matter if it's a man or woman that's searching you in regards to actual physical contact?

Well, at all the the raves I've been too (thats the only place I've really been extensively searched) they have 2 separate lines for guys and girls. So girls are always checked by girls, guys by guys.
That being said, I've also been to a ton more raves where they just let the girls walk in, usually because we're not wearing much. ;D

That's what I thought. Maybe next time we should just make sure she goes in a line with a guy because I honestly think that it has to be the same sex, as far as women are concerned, in order for them to make any kind of physical contact. Then again I could be entirely wrong about that assumption...

Yeah when it was a guy he just asked if I had any drugs. Was he that direct about it, or did he ask, "have you seen my cat Molly?"

But, yes, he asked it just like that. I said, "no," and he waved me through. He had just asked the girl ahead of me and she was like, "what?" and he started saying, "you know, drugs, booze, pills." I don't remember exactly, but he was like listing things.

Then again I could be entirely wrong about that assumption... Definitely this. I was the designated pipe smuggler because I'd just put it down my shirt and go in a line with a guy. They'd check my bag and let me pass. Worked everytime. Of course, considering this is the thread with security, I'd never do it again...
