I get patted down everytime I go to a concert, which is often.
Right--but you expect to get patted down in that situation.
You're entering a controlled environment. At a commercial venue like that they are probably looking for alcohol, drugs, and electronics as well.
I wasn't saying you should try to carry at concerts or in court or anywhere for that matter.
I wasn't advising anyone to do anything.
You are permitting that search--I've been to events like that as well. I'm in my thirties and (I'm showing my age)--I don't like being in crowd situations like that anymore.
I don't fly anymore either.
