  • (- you can make one from a zip-gallon plastic bag, & some chord/yarn, string- they don't hold heavy items for long, but it has worked for me at Aftershock Festivals...-i mean if it comes to you gotta have a clear bag requirement...just a suggestion only...)
  •  (- if you make it a cross-body bag, or into a backpack, i did beef-up the small circular holes for the chording/straps, with extra handcut plastic circle "washers"  i handstitched in circles around the chord holes with a travel sewing kit.  Put your items inside another zip-plastic bag, that you'll situate Inside of the bag you're making- maybe float a sticker inside looking outward-i used a vintage TOOL sticker- got me through a NIN bash headliner...)

    My go to move is to put a nylon drawstring bag in my pocket right before I get to the gate and carry in my hands the stuff I would have put in the bag.  Then once inside I take out the bag and load it up.  No one has ever bothered me once inside.

    That’s a good idea.  If we return to ACL next year I’m doing that

    Haha.  I just carried your stuff into Sea Hear Now in a shopping bag… so much for needing a clear tote bag. 😂

    I ordered mine on Amazon weeks ago. Must be an American thing, because so many made to order just that size, although I'd never met this policy before.

    They've been a requirement at many NFL stadiums for a few years in that size.

    Can also confirm the drawstring bag in your pocket thing. My brother in law used the same move all weekend at ohana

    I guess thats better than plastic, except from a security perspective.

    I have done this for years. Never a problem.
