Airshow Security
Today we followed the rules,
https://theutahairshow.com/schedule/2018-prohibited-permitted-items/
Took no digital scanners.( the dont know what a digital scanner is} or we dont understand what they meant by the term digital scanner. The Captain told his group that digital scanners will have a laser in them.
But did take two ICOM's HT's to talk with my son.
And one pro97.
First guy was confused and had about 5 people over looking at them like they were guns.
So he got his boss, he flat out says no, take them back to your care.
I was getting a little, well when you follow the rules you stand up more than if you didn't know.
So after getting upset and the guy treating me like he was going to have the MP's escort me off.
But the MP's asked him to talk with the captain, Just like I wanted to do.
So he says he goes and talks with the captain. Comes back and so NO! I need you to leave now.
Well not so fast, phone comes out and I show them the list. He does not care.
Leave sir. NOPE. Captain walks over, after he told me he was not outside.
Says are we good, I start to explain, he stops me and says sir I am so sorry.
They are not on the prohibited list. And are list as ok.
So after he lets me get our stuff. He has all flight line Fake police(security) come over to him.
Says Raise your hand if you have the list of items that can and can not be allowed in?
Everyone raise their hand. So he asked the @ss that was giving me so much crap to see his.
He looks down and then says he does not have it. He made him leave.
He ask another for there's and it was brought out. And his pointed out the 20 minutes of misleading the public about what the person was right the whole time. He says stop acting like this is your first day.
He was not loud but firm. I just was very close to him since I was picking up our stuff.
OH and they dropped my scanner, back pop'd off and batteries came out.
They look at me and say sorry.
The show was not to great, Walked 3 miles after getting bused into the base.
The show items were not all there. C17 no life flight, no F15 that I seen.
Oh yea TAKE CASH. ATM line was a 2 hour wait or more. We didn't wait for it.
Left to eat and walked many more miles back and fourth.
So for the negative, but you should be aware.
When we came back the had a sign two feet from the security officers, No Walkie-Talkies.
I just told them to take to Capt Adams. The called him on the radio and he came right over.
And let them have it again. Asked who made the signs.
Well when we left he was in the face of the guy that told me to leave several times.
ALWAYS Question Authority
