Some interesting implications to follow.
Yeah, they'll have to lower their prices on food. Everybody here overreacting and talking about now they will be vulnerable to terrorists - many stadiums and arenas had these kinds of searches long before 9/11, either to prevent video cameras or "professional" camera equipment coming in, or to stop people from bringing food in (I will admit in some venues they may need metal detectors as the fans are a little crazy).
One of the most profitable areas for these venues is food, and I remember long before 9/11 people having to open their bags/jackets/etc. in order to insure that they weren't bringing food in.
Unfortunately, since 9/11, the stadiums, arenas, etc., now hide under the 9/11 umbrella, and they say "terrorists" instead of food. The price of food/drinks in these venues has gone up (although mostly due to natural inflation over time, and because the fans don't have a choice).

Hi af_vet_rr:
Just attended a music concert and a burger, fries, and medium lemonade was $19.00 even. Ouch!
