    Regal Movie Theaters To Begin Searching Bags

    Via BBC News:

    One of America's largest cinema chains, Regal, is now searching bags of film-goers following several attacks on movie theatres across the US. Regal's updated policy says it wants customers and staff "to feel comfortable and safe" in its cinemas.
    And what, exactly, is a teenager making minimum wage supposed to do when they find a weapon? When I worked in theaters, we only had off-duty cops Friday evenings, and on weekends.

    Because I always put my gun in a bag when I go to the theater.

    Regal Theaters won't be getting anymore of my money.

    It's primarily to search for contraband candy and snacks from the outside, and to give a warm fuzzy to customers who don't know better.

    Personally, I would never bring a gun in a backpack to a movie theater.

    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    I'm gonna second that! LOL! Do you have a pre-cooled gel pack to keep that snickers from melting or do you only bring pre-frozen snickers to the theater?

    Guess I'm not sure: what is the difference between Regal doing this and, say, Disney or Sea World theme parks doing this?

    I guess unless I get patted down or a TSA-style X-ray, why is this a huge deal?

    Because it puts them in the same retarded category as Disney or Sea World.

    Their business and they can choose to run it in any manner they see fit; just like I have the option of not giving them any of my money.

    What do they intend to do in CHL states. In TX I haven't see one posted properly so are they going to begin refunding money if they find a gun on someone?
