Uh...the whole purpose of the pat down is to pat down for flasks. The Green Bay cops are pretty good, they go for the traditional vestpockets, flat of your back just at the belt line and underside of the sleeves. Quick, effective and it pisses me off greatly. However, at the Lions/Packers game (yes, it was glorious to watch history being made), I managed to bring in a pint of Brandy and a pint of Schnapps.
well, that’s not the whole purpose here in nyc. perhaps out there it is. i guess a flask of johnny black is the most you have to worry about. you’re lucky.
