Metal detectors at Camben Yards

Boker anti-mag.

If you have a small swiss army knife on your keychain leave it in the car...they took mine Monday night.

Did they offer to let you return it to your vehicle first?

I went Tuesday night. Since it was raining, the tubs you put your metal items in had water in it. I gave them crap about it, saying I didn't want to set my phone down in a puddle of water. The guy picked up the tub and dumped the water out, but I made him hold my phone anyway.

Guess I won't be going to any games anytime soon. Sounds like a giant hassle.

Isn't the blade liner and pocket clip metal?

If so it may not be enough to set off the detector. My belt buckle didn't set it off.

Curious to know if it can actually get past metal detectors.

Maybe a fixed blade ceramic knife fits the bill here... Hmm

I got turned away last sat for my spyderco. Came in the Eutaw street gate.

Did they offer to allow you to put it back in to your car? Did you get it back?

Hell, they would probably freak out if they saw my 5" blade SOG folder.

If they "do it right," you should get probed before the ticket is scanned/ripped. That's how it's done at the Ravens games.

It's actually wasn't that much of a hassle. I was just bustin' the guys balls. Took maybe an extra 5 seconds to get in total.

Good to know. In general I take as little as possible, but generally seek to avoid the TSA treatment as much as possible.

Annoying, but it didn't seem to take us any more time to get in on opening day. FYI the scanners aren't very sensitive. Steel toe boots did not set it off.

I don't mind the time, it's the intrusion that bothers me. I really don't go anywhere without my knife.

This is a MLB thing, will be at Nats also.

To have tens of thousands of patron "metal detected" with 5 sec or less delay, the sensitivities are turned down so far that anything smaller than a 4 way lug wrench probably wouldn't set one off. All deterence theater.

I went last night. No crowd, No line. Walked right in <20 mins before 1st inning. Unless the game is an absolute sellout, I doubt you would notice anything different, even then it was 1000x faster than a Ravens game,

Time to learn the art of the fighting cane. It helps if you gray hair goes with the cane. Chris

There has to be a certain amount of mass for the detectors to sound off. 2 house keys would never set off most metal detectors.
