New added security at PAX West = Longer lines to get in now?
Just saw the 1.0 update, and am excited for all the news, including adding more security with metal detectors. But I am wondering the logistics of this as it is needed to 'enter the building'.
I am hoping they do not mean they will be right at the doors as that would be a nightmare of a pinch point to get in each morning, with the line becoming incredibly long as everyone is going to have stuff to empty their pockets out for small change, and metal objects. Me being a medical badge user I am really hoping they will have a separate security entrance for us as well so we aren't stuck standing painfully in the same lines as the masses to get in.
Also out of curiosity I wounder if these means medical badges/press get in at 8:30 on Friday now with the earlier opening? Will be chaos for sure as the booths were often still setting up and we were being held back last year even past the hour early mark because they were still moving large object and had forklifts n the show floor still. Hopefully they give the vendors extra time to set up, or they just plan better their setups lol
See you all in a couple of weeks!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But isn't ECCC still about half the size roughly as PAX West?
And do you remember if they had a secondary/special entrance for medical badge/handicap guests? I would imagine it would be on the corner at the top of the small steps closest to the Hyatt? (The North West corner under the glass canopy)

It was all theater. Several times my bad didn’t even get looked in. It was a joke. One good thing is ECCC can be used as a trial run and I’m sure they will make adjustments for Pax.
ECCC sells out, so I am sure it is a similar amount of people as Pax in the convention center.
They are. ECCC reported 95,000 attendees over four days for 2018. PAX has about 25,000 people per day.

Is it theater? A bit but in general it's something that insurance and high profile guests are starting to require at major cons. Never mind recent incidents.
