To those who have been to a rally

[madaboutharry]

Sen. Obama is coming to my town on Friday. I am going to go and wanted to ask if security is allowing cameras.

1. I've been to Hillary and Obama campaign stops and never had a problem bringing a camera. n/t

2. Yes, but no signs

:kick: Standard operating procedure for everyone.

3. Yes, cameras are fine...

Just be prepared to turn it on so they can look at it, as well as your cell phone. No sharp objects, bags searched, metal detectors. Oh, and get there REALLY early!! Like, 4 hours, if you wanna get up close and to be assured that you get in.

Have a great time!! :hi:

4. I went to a Kerry rally and had to sacrifice my tiny swiss army knife on my keychain

I'd even forgotten it was on my keychain. I hated losing it, I always used the little screwdriver head.

but I got a camera in ok.

To my way of thinking, a big bulky camera could potentially be a lot more harmful, in nefarious hands, than a pocketknife, but hey.
