if they pat you down when you go into Centeroo? I remember they check your bags, but I can't remember if they pat you down or not. I'm bringing glowsticks in and don't want them to get taken
Yup... Well, wait a tic.... I think it was hit or miss... I remember getting patted down yet I also remember not getting patted down. All depends on the guard.
My suggestion: look for the headiest-looking security person and/or the fastest line.... always worked for me.
not TOO bad...mainly looking for big bulky items such as glocks,uzis,ak's,fo figh's ,brass knucks,rocket launchers,and pineapple grenades. last year i made the mistake of just turning around and letting dude rummage thru my camelback and he found and took my chopper,but on the patdown he felt right over my smokeless aluminum shorty and my satchel. gave them a good squeezing and sent me omw...

I got patted down last year, but only once and it was the first time through on thursday. I think the security is a little more gung ho on thursday and become more lax throughout the weekend. Or maybe it just depends on who's working that line. I'm also a girl, and they don't tend to pat us down as heavily as they do the boys, imho. If you see the people in front of you getting patted down, just change lines if you have the time to spare getting to your next show. If you're a girl, the best spot to hide stuff, I've found, is in the bottom of your bra under your breasts. They won't do a pat-down at that location...if they do, feel free to ask for a ring and a commitment lol.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Holy sh*t ... what a ride!"

one other thing you can try is to use a backpack with a lot of compartments. i have a backpack with space for a laptop, and the opening is sort of hidden on the side. every time i went through security, i would open up the two large compartments in the front, and security would see those were clear. they never checked the zipper on the side to see what was in the other compartment.
Here's a trick I've used to smuggle beers into Giants Stadium....stash your whatever fairly well, and right before it's your turn to get patted, go on a coughing jag. Don't try it if your cough sounds fake. But if it sounds real, be gross, & don't cover your mouth (you know you're not sick, anyway), and step up. Usually, the security is so schkeeved out they'll just give you the token pat, and get you the hell away from them...it's worked for me...

except at bonnaroo, everyone is coughing... but for other reasons, they might give you a more thorough patdown if you catch my drift...
I have found that as i get more senior in age, I generally get waved through without a pat-down. Ditto for my husband. If you really need to get something through undetected, find an older dude, "reward him" and meet him on the other side.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't a long haired, scruffy looking, 21 year old male. If there's anyone getting searched, it's my type. The border can be really interesting. I've actually been searched in the line waiting to get to the border guard. I'm pretty sure it was illegal, but what can I say? Especially when the guard is some skinhead with spiderweb tats on his elbows (isn't that the white supremist mark?). I guess I could always shave and get a haircut, but I'm not going to do that just because The Man wants me to
Thanks. I will take all of these suggestions to mind. Except for the bra. That would be awkward. (I am a guy)
I'd bet on the security guy to to find that really awkward. Go for bra! Hell, throw in matching panties, some lipstick and blow a kiss or two his way and I'll bet he'd fall over backwards just trying to get out of your way...
i was patted down once at centeroo and the dude grabbed hold of a big ol bag in my pocket, looked at me and smiled and said "have a great time". i think they're mostly looking for weapons, fireworks etc.
