I suppose they cover this stupidity by saying, "Better safe than sorry." Are the guards going to be checking bridge cameras to make sure their lenses are not removable?

So, after consulting with "several law enforcement authorities," they decided to ban cameras? Remember Forrest Gump? "Stupid is as stupid does."

Here's the complete list.

1) Coolers (Styrofoam coolers and ice will be available for purchase infield)
2) Cans, glass bottles or containers
3) Camcorders
4) Cameras with detachable lenses
5) Cameras with lenses more than six inches in length
6) Tripods
7) Purses larger than 12 inches in any dimension
8) Pop up and patron tents, no poles or stakes of any kind
9) Grills
10) Alcoholic beverages
11) Thermoses
12) Backpacks
13) Luggage (includes briefcases)
14) Duffel bags
15) Wagons
16) Umbrellas
17) Weapons (including knives)
18) Fireworks
19) Noisemakers and air horns
20) Laser lights and pointers
21) Mace, pepper spray or other personal defense sprays

#19 is "Noisemakers," but that could be a problem. If you are bringing in a diaper bag, you must have a small child with you (a noisemaker). :D

I think next year, all attendees should be naked and carrying nothing.
