The bag checks had nothing to do with safety. You could have had a bomb laying next to a snickers bar & they would have taken the candy bar & let the bomb in. But the expo did loosen up the bag checks & that's a good thing. They just looked in my bags & did not reach in & move things. Food & drink was permitted if bottom of bag & not visible at a glance. Thanks to the expo for that.

Lazy hands make for poverty,
but diligent hands bring wealth.
