Venue bag search policies should be enforced throughout the entire event, from gate opening to gate closing after the event. Any influx of guests should not cause deviations in standard bag search procedures, and it is strongly recommended that bag searches be conducted regardless of wait time. The potential threat to the venue should determine the setup of bag search locations and lines for bag searches, the bag search procedures, and the level of search detail—from a simple glance into the bag to emptying the contents of the bag. Options for finding or removing items should be based on what is appropriate for the threat to the venue, the type of event, venue, any existing venue pre-event evaluation procedures, expected attendance, and number of individuals supporting the bag searches. Trained bag search staff and bag search supervisors should perform the bag searches in the safest manner possible so that they identify and respond appropriately to items not permitted in the venue.
