- jbigelow76 10y agoWe now have the lamest reason ever to buy a burner.
- kbar13 10y agodo burners not have metal components or whatever is detectable by those wands? If so, I'd like one please.
- desdiv 10y agoHe's saying give the security guy your burner phone as a faint. Then the security guy has no reason (and no excuse) to metal detect you and your real phone. Then you use your unpouched real phone to record the concert.
- sgt101 10y agoBut the security guy is also looking for guns and knives and drugs - given the god awful murders of musicians recently isn't that a decent reason to search until "no more bleeping"?

While filming it through your phone may not be the best experience to you, you're not everyone. People experience things differently, and their way of experiencing it isn't "wrong".
- miloshadzic 10y agoIt's not about me, it's about the artist, and I sure as hell hope they get a say in how an event gets experienced. That's part of the art.
