No, just in gerneral. I have a feeling that most of the kids on this forum would walk into one like the Pink Floyd video.
If it was a meat grinder than most people wouldn't get in line.
If it's one of the best music festivals of the nation and an unforgettable weekend of entertainment and good vibes? then yea....they may get in line.
Sometimes you people get so extreme.
People want to go to the festival so they agree to the searches. If you don't want to possibly be searched then don't go. If you do go, get searched, and complain about it......who's fault is it really? The festival who didn't force you to go or yourself?
I know it's like beating a dead horse. I can't help it. I like to think that discussing it will help people wake up. Wishful thinking on my part I guess.

Wow, I didn't say that bonnoroo was the meat grinder. I just ment in general. You guys are so sensitive about roo. It amazes me. I was just saying it's not right in some cases.

Wake people up? In what regard? That we all knowingly allow ourselves to be searched in order to gain access to a private establishment?
I'm wide awake to this fact, I'm also 100% find with it. I'd rather know that the festival is doing it's due diligence, making sure people are being safe, etc. than just letting it be a free for all.
Your rights aren't being violated, you're not a martyr of some kind, you're just whining on inforoo about what big brother is supposedly doing to you.
If you don't want to be searched, wear a speedo and don't carry a bag.

Hey guys, I went to a show the other day and got lightly patted down, it was brutal, almost like walking into a meat-grinder if instead of grinding meat it lightly patted you down and then let you into the show.
Wowzers.......Why are sooo many people up in arms about searches? Its nothing new. Put it to rest people!
While we are on the topic though........why dont we share some tips on how to "beat" the search. I know that I dont want to be going back to my camp all of the time just to avoid expensive beer in centeroo. So what does everyone suggest/try to take in for afternoon bevy's? Hopefully the responses to this will be a little more fun than what has been posted on here already!
Hey guys it seems to me that nodepression and itrainmonkeys are defenders of all things bonnaroo. No wait, they are defenders of all things period.
Just because they're pointing out the lunacy of your point comparing Roo's entrance search to a "meat grinder" or that you're unreasonably (and incorrectly) citing laws that don't even apply to the situation doesn't mean anyone is blindly defending. You're just complaining about something that is unavoidable and, frankly, necessary in order for the festival to do its best to keep everyone safe.

I didn't compare it to that. I said that I bet the most people on this forum would if they were told to. That's all I was saying.

Sneaking beer in might be an issue. I've never tried to do it, to be honest, but i would expect it not to be very easy to sneak enough beers in that it's worth it.

You know they probably cant even have roo without some type of insurance. And I'm willing to bet whoever is gonna insure them sure as hell won't do so without without some type of security search.
I'll leave you with this and I hope this never happens to anyone.
Question authority and think for yourself
I do.
Know why they got that pat down? Because they refused to go through the full-body scan. Those are your options. And as vile as it is, children are one of the most commons ways of smuggling things through customs. My friend's father was 100% Albanian mafia, and he had my friend (when he was 8 years old) smuggle $150,000 in cash in his person through customs coming back into the country, so the father didn't have to claim it on his forms.
In case you haven't noticed, people need to be controlled, because most are idiots and many are dangerous, if left to their own devices. What country is truly 100% free as you think this country should be?

Indeed. Also don't you feel safer knowing that there is at least some control of what gets into Centeroo. It makes me feel better that firearms and other weapons would likely be found by security.

I wasn't saying Roo is the meat grinder.
I was saying they are different situations completely.
I meant if there was a meat grinder at the end of the line then people would likely be questioning why we choose to get in line and all that. I was merely pointing out that people put up with what you think is a problem because they want to go to the festival.
gooroo please enlighten us. Since we are all just blind masses walking into a meatgrinder...
How would you do it if you ran bonnaroo? How would you do away with these searches that "violate our constitutional rights" while 1.) Ensuring the safety of patrons 2.) Keeping local and federal law enforement appeased to the point where they don't feel the need to step in 3.) Ensure the safety of the artists performing 4.) Maintain some resemblance of a "family fest" 5.) Maintain insurance needed to put on a fest of this size, maintain investor confidence for those who help fund production of the fest
Its all well and good to defend civil rights, but ultimately everything you've said so far are tired regurgitated talking points that aren't really applicable.
