Topic: Nomad jb3 - Does it go off in metal detectors?

[Javit]

So I'm planning on taping Paul McCartney this friday in Philly but from what I've heard, the security is super tight, pat downs and wands/regular metal detectors.  So; ssia... do jb3's go off?  I'm gonna assume my mics won't hopefully they'll be in my shoe.

im going to say yes. but i dont know 100%

Let us know how it goes. I'm taping McCartney in November.

The security is supposed to be realllll tight after a fan ran onstage at the Tampa show...  I'm taping him again in October.

I bet he was only trying to find a place to set his mic stand up.

Didn't you attend Stealthing 101?  Punk it up for the show buddy.  Go to the local Hot Topic and get a 3 row pyramid studded belt ($20) get the biggest badass belt buckel you can find (not a trucker hick ass one though) and fill your pockets with all sorts of metallic shit.  Bring yer cell phone, a pack of smokes that are open (they'll check em and waste more time), a lighter, some loose change, yer earplugs in their plastic case, and yer wallet in a front pocket as well, and the keychain of course.  Security are usually more concerned about getting people into the venue before the show officially starts than finding some guy whose taping.  If you have a knife or gun the metal detectors are gonna go nuts but other than that don't sweat it.  CROTCH ALL OF YOUR GEAR!

I've taken the JB3 through metal detoctors at least 7 times and it's never been noticed so I wouldn't worry about that.  Granted, they were the wands, the walk through detectors might be a different story.  Basically anything metallic sets off wands, even zippers, so the security usually isn't concerned unless of course it's going off in an area where theres no visible metal.  Good luck.

Thanks for the laugh   +t

Didn't you attend Stealthing 101?...get the biggest badass belt buckel you can find (not a trucker hick ass one though)

I crotch the recorder beneath my hick ass trucker belt buckle and sometimes hide the mics & batt box tucked in the badass asswhuppin' biker boots
More important than hiding your shit is not looking liking you have shit hidden.  Act normal, laugh & talk.  I'm proactive, I actually voluntarily lift my shirt/jacket so security can see my beltline, before they even ask.  And if you think you may be able to take photos, carry a camera in the open, makes it look like you have nothing to hide.  If you want, carry a disposable so you can just toss it if they stop you.  Give 'em something to catch, they don't look further.

And all of Evil Taper's suggestion will work.  You'll also look like you escaped from a 1980's hair metal band, but that's the price we sometimes have to pay

I think he meant "ran" onstage as literally walking very fast across it...not "ran" as in ran tape.

Thank's for the tips... I"ll pick all of that shit up.  And put up a pair of my best shit kickers.  Country punk rocker or something.  I've been hearing mixed reviews about the tour security now.  Mics are going in the shoes.  The jb3 will either be crotched or attached the the very top of my inner thigh with some heavy ass jeans.  I'll be ok I think.  I once told a guy my batter box was for my heart monitor... thank God he didn't question that any further.  Maybe a metal altoids box too.

FWIW, I've gotten the NJB3 through pat-down security by holding it in my hand, attached to some headphones that were around my neck.  They never even asked what it was.  If they did, I'd say it was my MP3 player, becuase I don't want to listen to their horridly putrid house music.

Dude; that takes balls.  At a low level concert I'd do that... but for Macca, I'm gonna have to just crotch it and go.

Nah, its not that bad dude!  Well, at least at Macca, you'll be able to find a different entrance and try a different way if you don't succeed the first time!
