as long as security doesn't turn into the fucking po-po harassment level it was at hangout this year, it should be just fine.
BUKU has SERIOUS searches. They search bags completely sometimes emptying (they never look at small inside pockets) and they have metal detector wands.
You know what would suck? If someone invented a glass or pyrex detecting wand.

at hangout they were literally taking every single item out of everyone's bag. they would unzip every single pocket, look into any container/small bag you brought in - they took my by AutoDealsApp"> camera case out and even looked into every pocket in that tiny thing. they also did the most invasive pat downs I've ever seen - literally reaching into my shirt and feeling in between my chest. it was absolutely horrible. and the police completely harassed random people in line.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

I've never seen more aggressive security. it was awful.
E: oh, and they didn't just throw out people's goodies. the cops immediately intervened at that point and, well, a lottt of arrests were made.
Oh shit! BUKU was tight but not quite that tight. I did get patted down and the underneath of my bra lifted. I guess so if shit was in there it would fall out, and people were getting arrested if they had illegal substances on them from what I heard. But, it depended on the line you were in. Also, it is worth noting, BUKU is a mostly EDM festival and attracts young crowds, they had to up the age to 18 a couple years back.

Are you fucking serious??!! God wow that makes me want to avoid that festival. Cop interventions? Invasive pat downs? No thank you
yeah.... I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. unless I do VIP where they drive you in on a golf cart with almost no searching.

I wear this the first day and rent a locker to keep some stuff in Centeroo for the weekend. The only day I have to worry about getting anything in is Thursday, and the bag checkers would have to caress my undercarriage in order to find anything. So either way it's a win for me.

Undercarriage. Your word choice just made my day <3

my friend gave me this for my birthday last year the day we drove into roo (my bday is the week after roo) - BEST birthday present ever! there's a little fabric "self" on the inside, so you could bring more than just the wine reservoir.
orrrr my personal favorite trick is to just fit things under my bra and throw on an oversized tshirt on my way in.
I don't really have anything to sneak in so it doesn't matter to me but I feel like someone should mention that this forum is open to the public and is read by the folks that run the festival so you may want to think twice before sharing your best tricks. Just my advice...

You think that was my best trick? You should see what I can accomplish with my anus.
Also, this thread gave me yet another reason to hate on Hangout.

Very valid point, and I see where you're coming from, but people are just kinda pointing out the general ways to get around what look to be tougher-searching security guards/volunteers and noting the fact that big boobs and roomy boxers can help you out in smuggling endeavors. These aren't things that would be news to anyone skimming this forum for hints on how to bust people.

I doubt this will end up being anything to worry about but I did foresee stricter searches after Livenation takeover for which I was lightly mocked at the time. I have a feeling it's just as much about preventing outside food and booze as anything illegal. They've had "stricter" security about every year and I've never really noticed anything.
Who makes guacamole happen!?!? Does a tabloid like the University of Oklahoma student paper make guacamole happen or do ME AND YOU make it exist? Just cause they write about it doesn't make guacamole exist - ME AND YOU MAKE IT EXIST!

Do cops ever search cars upon campground entry or is that primarily the volunteer/security staff?
Yeah we got pulled aside for the random sheriff search two years ago. They went through EVERYTHING in our car, but they didn't search us...... In 9 years of going, that was the only time that has happened. It's usually volunteers.

I got one the year before you. Same thing. The cops went through absolutely everything we had. Then the volunteers wanted to search us again. I pitched a fit and they let us through after peeking about for a second.

They must have seen this public forum page and place you and your avatar together... Too bad they didn't know what you could do with that anus of yours.

I walked in on foot one day last year and my bag was very thoroughly searched by a police officer. He was polite, I was polite, no issues. If I had been carrying any contraband he definitely would have found it.
Walking through a tollbooth on foot is a unique situation though, I parked at the wine place because traffic was so bad and I didn't want to miss Umphreys. Really terrible idea BTW, walking down bushy branch at 3:00am to get back to my car was unpleasant.

I bring special industrial-strength Clorox wipes just to sterilize SupeЯfuЯЯyanimal's up-the-butt Vodka bottle before I sip from it. Trust me when I tell you that you don't want to have to explain to your loved ones why you came back from Bonnaroo with anal warts on your face.
The only problem I have with security is foldable chairs.........They like to complain that there is some rational reasoning for not having them at festivals. Its stupid.
For me the issue is the secret rules they start enforcing randomly throughout the festival, like confiscating the straws from misting fans or people's blankets, not the search itself.

Blankets are allowed, what secret rule that they take them? That's bull and they're so much better than folding chairs. I can NOT stand folding chairs. It's like this weird pet peeve of mine. Especially when they are past the designated area. Or when people just leave them, do some wandering and come back and expect their spot to be here. I blame Jazzfest, honestly.

I didn't happen to me, but several people reported last year that security was intermittently not allowing them to bring blankets into Centeroo. I can't remember the rationale.

The misting fans were asked, too and then Friday or Saturday of last year someone decided that they weren't. They took the straws from the misters because they said that people could use them to spray acid. There was also a huge pile of blankets that were confiscated. I didn't have one so I never got an explanation.
A couple of years ago one of the entrances wasn't letting in full bottles of water or camelbacks. Enough people pointed to the sign at the entrance stating that they were allowed and they finally relented.
That's the problem with a volunteer security team. Everybody's not on the same page and then one person can start changing the rules and everyone else assumes that they're right.
