At times of heightened Security, particularly if anti-terrorism related, you may be required to carry out searches of bags

Searches are carried out for several reasons. Although it appears that the only reason for searching would be ‘to find a suspect device’, the other factors involved are just as important.

• To visibly show potential thieves, that the venue may not be an easy target.
• To limit the ways in which the venue could be attacked.
• To help spot indicators of nervousness or suspicious behaviour.
