Michigan State bans bags in Spartan Stadium (like diaper bags, purses, etc)

[The Straight Story]

There will be a big change for fans at the Michigan State games. No bags are allowed in the stadium.

That goes for some of the necessities, like diaper bags and purses too.

Saturday's football game in East Lansing will be the first since the no-bag policy took effect at Spartan Stadium.

The ban applies to all bags, including purses, diaper and camera bags. Just like at the airport, personal items may be carried in clear gallon-sized bags.

Campus police say they had an evaluation by homeland security and the no-bag policy was among their recommendations.

In the US, we are all suspects and potential terrorists (except those in government....)

1. Bagism:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagism

Bagism is a term which was created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono as part of their extensive peace campaign in the late 1960s. The intent of bagism was to satirize prejudice and stereotyping. Bagism involved literally wearing a bag over one's entire body. According to John and Yoko, by living in a bag, a person could not be judged by others on the basis of skin color, gender, hair length, attire, age, or any other such attributes. It was presented as a form of total communication. Instead of focusing on outward appearance, the listener would hear only the bagist's message.

2. There are bags being made that are clear now. I'm assuming a clear

back pack would be ok.

15. Yes, female fans just love the thought.

17. Oh well, I suppose a few dozen fun dies screaming about looking at

tampons and maxi pads may change their silly little rules.

5. BS

8. A LOT of "anti-terrorism" mandates are to benefit corporations, one way or the other.

If we really had a conscious public, those stadiums would be empty of spectators as of now.

14. Amen

I wish Americans would just stop fellating sports in this country.

9. What a sad and pathetic commentary

of our country, today. What's next?????

16. Body scanners. LOTS of body scanners.

Which will go over real well when some industrious student hacks into it and displays the scans on the Jumbotron screen right there in front of God and everybody.

10. The Spartans played last night

not on Saturday. And in a few weeks everyone will be wearing big enough coats that it won't matter.

11. What's your bag, man!

:)

12. Excuse me, but no woman could possibly have written this cockamamie edict. Oh, wait; women can

PUT A NEON LIGHT OVER THEIR HEADS if they have their period:
"Those with medical supply needs should enter through gates C or K to have their bags searched and tagged."

And hey, they can flash all their cash and credit cards, too! And make-up (even if we don't want others to know some things)!

FTS.

13. Went to the Chiefs game last weekend

They were sending women with large purses back to their cars.

18. Oh good god.

Fans should protest and just not go to the games. Maybe they'll change their ways then when people don't buy tickets.

But no one will and they'll remain complacent and continue to go to the games. Like drugged-up cattle.
