Has anyone ever tried using one of them to sneak gear into a show? I know they're small but are they too small to fit a Nomad in?

Haha. I guess you could try that. Probably only fit a minidisc and battery box in anything but the Norton Complete Works of Shakespeare, though...

Haha, my dad was oldschool and that is what he used to to sneak gear into concerts....well actually he had the tape deck inside of it.   

Like carrying a book into a concert isn't suspicious at all? ;p   But hey it worked for him...he never got caught.

I think I just had a revelation!  :)

The ultimate stealth tool for a woman trying to sneak stuff in would be one of those fake pregnant bellies....hollow it out and put a full rig in there! Most people(venue staff included) tend to go easy on the pregnant women.

A long skirt is plenty of stealth. 
Could bring in a DAP-1, V3, Pair of AKG-414s, a stand, a ham, and a small barbecue grill.   :P
