ONE THING IS CLEAR
Bag searches cause congestion on entry at venues as the process is slow, labor-intensive, and requires interaction between security and patrons. In the “COVID Safe Normal”, we need to provide reduced-contact, free flowing entry and at the same time remain vigilant on the security of our patrons and employees.
Clear Bags provide a safe and speedy entry for patrons and reduce the pressure on Security Guards at entry points. Security Guards do not have to stop patrons carrying Clear Bags as the contents of the bags can easily been seen as the patron walks through the entry point.
