rob banks is the international baddie that they were all after! Rob is also going to be on tour with Max Fosh for his UK stand up tour, get your tickets here: dice.fm/event/dwmov-max-fosh-...
@@Cosmik60 Just shortly after metro bombings in UK, while boarding the plane, when asked if I have any dangerous items from the list I said "bomb". The women was very angry at my joke but I didn't have to correct myself and tell it is in fact a joke, they just let me on o plane...
the fact that his QR code is just a link to never gonna give you up and that the bar code literally just says 12345 is just crazy. there is no way they even looked at the scanner. i am impressed and concerned.
They scan your driver's license qr code at my local postal depot (where you collect international packages). One day I went there with an expired license. The scanner even made an error sound to indicate that my license was expired. Security guard didn't care and just let me through as if it passed fine. Really just security theatre
It's obvious there isn't really any security concern at this thing and they only have a minimum veneer of it to prevent the public from just strolling in. If they were really guarding any secrets it would have been very difficult to get through security. Mostly it's just crowd control in this case.
that's what I thought. how does the person read the QR code and just let him pass? I assumed he had copied the QR code of another convention there and the person didn't bother to look for the names..
For whatever reason, I've always perversely enjoyed doing the opposite - looking nervous, out-of-place and suspicious when I actually *am* supposed to be somewhere. Just to keep them guessing.
Ooh, if that tickles your fancy, next time you get pulled over, act as drunk as possible, then they’ll test you for alcohol and not find anything. Then on a dime ‘sober up’ and say cheers and drive off. Randy Feltface taught me that one.
Australian satirists sneaked into a military weapons expo here as well. Same style, same Instagram photoshopping, same lax guards HAHA ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-umUU5Sq2WVY.html
It was this security guard's responsability to make sure nothing happened indoors. Him breaking in was not in his job description so he did the corporate thing - he ignored it and hoped for it to be someone else's problem. After all he got in... so it's the door guard's security issue.
Rob banks, international baddie, broke into an international security convention by forging a card with a QR code linked to never gonna give you up, and a bar code saying 12345. Literally amazing
Once upon a time, when I was a soldier, I got to the base in the morning and there was a huge line at the entrance and security checks seemed to be going very slowly. When I finally got to the front I asked about it, and a very annoyed soldier told me that the day before someone got in with fake credentials containing a picture of Bin Laden. If that's what it takes to get into a military base, I'm not surprised it's this easy to get into a convention, even if it is a security convention.
Its true Honestly Some guards just check photos and if it looks like a Mil ID Only time you get scanmed here is if its a service member People can be lazy in the name of safety
In Sydney years ago there was a HUGE international security event. I mean HUGE they blocked off parts of the city. I've never seen anything like it since. A group dressed like Bin Laden and got through multiple security clearances. After the 3rd one they were like SH.T we better turn around (there were apparently snipers). It obviously made national news (probably international but I don't know). The group did it for a segment run by the ABC.
this is example #1 of not being paid enough to care, had an amusement park security guard wave me through after I set off the metal detector once, this kind of stuff is just how security works, you pay for what you get in this industry
This dude snuck into a convention made for security, snuck recording devices where it wasn’t allowed and even showed the guard, revealed his secret plans to another guard, and named himself “Rob Banks, International Baddie” This went smoothly… *too smoothly*
@@secondhandmax7010 strange, online I only found prices around £99+ VAT. Free is way cheaper, he should've just went up to the desk and ask for a free ticket smh.
I once accidentally broke into an airport, (LA/ San Francisco, I forget). I decided to walk between terminals as I'd arrived at the wrong one. I guess most people used the transport they had available for that. On the walk there, which was extremely far (maybe a kilometer), I found an elevator that was marked for my terminal, and as I was trying to press the button, some airport person quickly scanned a lanyard and opened the elevator, which I proceeded to ride up with them. I then walked around confused through some pretty empty parts of the airport, where I could see people waiting in airport security below me (I didn't go through). Eventually I just kind of popped out in the part of the airport I wanted to be in in the first place, and as I already had a ticket nothing really went wrong after that. It was kind of surreal though. I think I accidentally just went in a staff only elevator and essentially broke into the airport.
The staff knows some people just get super lost in international airports and end up at those hidden elevators. They know the security checkpoint is all theater, they see that bs every day and what gets through.
Wait a second, did you really hand over the camera to a security guard and told him twice that you sneaked your way in without getting kicked out of a convention that doesn't allow recordings? 😂
@@Purplehain My bad, I concentrated on the 'telling' part. But yeah, there were more than one problem with the security of that security convention. :D
He's talking quietly into the mic on his person so the guard can't hear him. Now if the guard was good at reading lips... The no recording thing might honestly just be a liability thing and not necessarily enforced. There's a lot of cases at events like this where so long as you aren't obnoxious about it, they won't stop you.
What he didn't realize is that the security is so good, that they put together this entire decoy expo to make him _think_ he had gotten in, when in actuality the real expo was being held at his house where they all threw a wild party the second he left.
What you didn't realize is that he already knew that they were going to make a fake expo and have a party in his house, so he secretly made this video in order to make them think he snuck inside the expo when in reality he never left his house and was there with them

looks like the organizers forgot the first rule of security engineering: no place is safe, only safer, so stay vigilant. the second rule is: you can get anywhere if you look confident enough
Reminds me of the time that some guys stole several flat screens from nearby Country Clubs by coming in dressed in warning vests and hard hats and claiming they're picking them up for replacement, which should come in a few days. Everyone just went along with it, no questions asked. Another time, someone stole a bunch of warning cones from road construction all around the city, but only ever one, not enough to arouse suspicion. Then he blocked off part of a road with them. It took the city half a year to notice nothing was actually being built there.
I have a similar personal experience, but a bit more terrifying. So a few years ago I joined the Army Reserves. I was in training one day at my local army base which is the 4th Battalion, the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, and a fellow soldier told me the passcode for the gate which allows you access into the premises. Little did I know, I wasn't actually allowed to know this at the time as all soldiers in training had to buzz the gate upon arrival and the office would speak to you through a speaker to verify who you are and then they buzz the gate and allow you inside the base. Now because I got told the passcode by a fellow soldier, I assumed I could use it. I thought "great, that will be quicker and easier!" I didn't know that I couldn't use the code yet until I completed my training and got officially promoted! The codes are changed every fortnight, or whenever a reservist quits. But yeah so one day shortly after, I turned up at the base a few hours earlier than I was scheduled to be there for, because I wanted to get a head start on my exercise. So I popped the code in for the gate, and I simply walked in. I then buzzed the door to the main building, as it was closed, and the office staff recognised me on the camera obviously so they let me in. The office staff didn't know that I wasn't supposed to be there yet, they just knew my face. Anyway I couldn't find my Corporal who usually instructs us on what to do and where to go etc so I just went to the locker room and used the toilet and sorted my gear out, and about 20 minutes later as I started to get changed into my uniform, my Sergeant walked in (he is a Staff Sergeant I think) and greeted me and then went into the toilets. He usually comes to this base every so often as it's his favourite one. When he came back out of the toilets, he looked confused. He said "Wait a minute, why are you here!? Who let you in!? Does Corporal know you're here already?" I said to him I put the code in for the gate and walked in, and that I knew I wasn't supposed to be there yet but I wanted to get some exercise in early before training. You can do that but you have to ask and be buzzed in lol. But yeah he looked so bewildered and shocked as he knew I wasn't supposed to know that code, and once I explained everything to him, he said "you've chosen quite the day to do this... stay here" and then he walked out of the locker room. I was shitting myself lol. He came back in 15 minutes later with the bloody Lieutenant Colonel, of all people, who was there visiting the base at that time. Now he is obviously in charge of several bases and their commanders along with all of the staff officers and soldier ranked personnel below him which is around 650 people in this region. And he happened to be here at this military base, at this time, when I literally just broke into it by accident. Yeah... You can imagine how I was feeling. A very high ranking senior officer has just walked in the room to speak to me directly while the Sergeant stood at the side... He said to me something along the lines of "You do realise that you are technically trespassing right now because you have just illegally broke into one of Her Majesty the Queen's Royal Army Reserve Centres, right?" and I said "well yeah when you say it like that..." and I remember shitting myself thinking i'm going to be punished or arrested for gaining access to the base without permission, and then he just said "well never mind because luckily Sergeant Cork here knows who you are and he said it was just a mistake" then he told Sgt Cork to tell his Corporal to change the code immediately. He then said "if you happen to find out the code again, do NOT use it. You can only be here, when you're allowed to be here, okay?" I just nodded and sat there terrified in silence until he left and Sgt Cork came back in and said "you got lucky, just please don't do that again. Anyway Corporal Smith wants to know if you are up for some volleyball. He's upstairs." Then he left and I went upstairs to join Cpl Smith and played some volleyball with some other soldiers before training. Needless to say, the guy who told me the code in the first place got a disciplinary and had to go back and do some evaluation courses etc. Anyway I received no punishment, was allowed to stay in the army reserves and I still passed my assessments! So yeah that was a fucking scary moment lol. And I am no longer a member of the army reserves. I've not seen those guys in years now. Sorry LTC, Sgt Cork and Cpl Smith for all that!
I'd tell him to shove his self-important fantasy and that I'm just an employee turning up to work. Asking permission and being escorted? Lol, stuff that.
I did a similar thing at an expo (helicopter expo) I really wanted to attend. I asked the receptionist if I could attend but she said I needed an invitation and had to pay €150 entrance fee... Simply asked a guy that walked out if I could have his lanyard with tag. He didn't even hesitate and couldn't care less. Sales reps looked at my pass, saw that I was from 'interior design' and started their sales pitch. I played along and learned a thing or 2. Got tons of gadgets. 10/10 experience.
Imagine what a flex it would have been for the *organizers* if, during a panel/forum/Q&A, they casually go, "and let's give a warm welcome to our special guest, Rob Banks, International Baddie, whom we knew would be here for several days now"
“I’m all good mate, don’t worry” is quite possibly the ballsiest statement one could make to the security guard of a security expo you’re breaking into, where no audio recording is allowed, with an audio recorder In Hand
I think the security guard hitting you in the face with the metal detector on accident actually massively improved your chances at getting in, the awkwardness it brought and the guilt the guard felt made them wanna let you through as fast and simply as possible.
This is indeed a tactic you can use if you're good. Make it seem like you're just doing your own thing as they do theirs, but secretly you've *made* them "accidentally" fumble something with you.
@@JohnSmith-ut5th If stuff like this failed nearly that often it wouldn't be worth trying to make a video like this. I'd argue that if it failed at all he would still try to make a video about it. Use the "magic of video editing" and whatever you did manage to record etc and make an interesting video out of it. Otherwise, you wasted time planning, prepping, and attempting to do this. There are also not enough conventions that sneaking into would make a good enough video for failing that often to be viable.
the placing of an assassins creed billboard outside of a security convention where this guy is trying to break into is perfect like the aligning of stars or something
I once sneaked into a medical conference with my two colleagues (management consulting partner and my manager). We blagged some free drinks and I told them to keep their mouths shut while I talked. I had a undergrad degree in biochemistry so we did pretty well until a cardiology specialist who completely believed I was a fellow doctor engaged me in PhD level discussion about heart muscle chemistry. I confessed my sin and he was very impressed by our brazen blagging and we had a very enjoyable time chatting to him.
I love how ONE person recognized Max or otherwise knew of him at the expo. This is my first time ever hearing of him myself, but this is a wonderful display of Social Engineering.
The guard hitting you in the face was actually a bit lucky because, by fucking up, he’s now on the back foot and much more easy to manipulate because he doesn’t want to get called out.
You know you can actually get HIRED to do this, like companies and even the government will pay you to breach their security without their knowledge. The expos on those companies and how they do their work are hilarious whilst also being a thief bootcamp.
Thing is as someone who's worked at many trade shows in the past, the fact that someone would willingly want to sneak into these mind numbingly boring shows would never cross my mind so its hardly surprising that you can "sneak in" as most people there probably couldn't care less.
I think they would have been very much more than happy to escort him out if they had known judging on todays caliber of people in general that all want to either prove you wrong in some way or tell you that you are not allowed.
but security trade show are kinda different since they are selling weaponary and securities stuffs to higher up.. I remember my friend went to one International Security Conference and security are tight af coz there are sultans, kings and politicians on the venue
The one you definitely want to sneak into is the PPAI Expo because oh my god it's miles of tables full of free promotional products. If they can print a logo on it, it's a promotional product, and it's crazy the things you can get there! I actually had to stop myself from accidentally shoplifting when we went to a convenience store in the middle of the day because I was so used to taking so much good free stuff. Damn, it's worth it!
It's just a regular sales convention; the "security" theme doesn't mean it's a fortress. It's safe to assume that people with no tickets wouldn't bother turning up to a niche event like this.
you couldn't have scripted this any better than "gets hit in face by security." at the moment of greatest vulnerability, security was made to feel like the bad guys and wanted to end the interaction ASAP. what a dream.
Reminds me of this kid who used to walk into the gas station I worked at and grab a drink or snack and just walk out. I stopped him the 3rd time and he just said "You don't care about this can of Pringles." And he was right. I didn't care.
Just telling the scanner operators "it's an audio recorder" at an event that specifies no audio recording is both a damning indictment and absolutely hilarious
@Auracle as someone working in security: I would be suprised if most of my coworkers would get those changes in volume - or if they get it, they would've no idea what it means lol
The first / second line of security mostly doesn't care about that since it's the indoor securities job to prevent recording. The average pay is low enough to not care about stuff you're not exactly instructed to care for.
My family and I snuck into the USS Zumwalt commissioning, they had a whole security checkpoint to screen who was coming in but we lined up towards the end and the security just waved us in. It helped that the recent airshow beforehand meant that a lot of people were walking by so my parents dressed in nice clothes with their kids just seemed like two people were invited and brought their kids.
The fact that security hit you in the face during screening probably played to your advantage. They were probably embarrassed and wanted to get the encounter with as soon as possible at that point.
He used a Social,Stealth and his Cool dude thing into a Box. And He got outta International Security Convention As a Baddie. What a legend. Imagine the face of the security after seeing this video.
yep. working in security and made entrance control for our local covid vaccination centre and still do for some local goverment offices. either you chck everyone like you supposed to do and people are complaining, that it takes too long or that they, as someone working there, could not just go in unbothered to do their "important work" or you are doing it wrong by rushing things a little. those goverment office workers - who are supposed to flash their ID when they come in but rarely do - always look so suprised/schocked when I ask them "you work here, right?", like I catched them doing something illegal lol
I also work in security. My friend got fired from our local arena because he was checking everyone like he is supposed to do. Over a dozen upper management guys complained about him in one shift. What people don't see is that they pay security close to minimum wage and they annoyed once security becomes thorough. Security is just there as a deterrence and to be a scapegoat, anything more and the 99.99% of people who are supposed to be there get annoyed at you.
@@benberk8541 "Security is just there as a deterrence and to be a scapegoat, anything more and the 99.99% of people who are supposed to be there get annoyed at you." yep, pretty much this
It was so freeing once I finally understood that 90% of people at any time, anywhere on Earth, are not paying attention and if you just move around like you're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing almost nobody will ever even think to look at you, much less approach you and ask you questions.
Not gonna lie, this is the exact thing we kinda love aha. This is in the realm of physical pen testing, 100% the kinda stuff security and cyber security pentesters do. Max doing a talk about this would be super popular, I'd certainly be watching it.
I once accidentally snuck onto a cruise boat during late dinner time. I really needed to take a dump and they were kind enough to let me onto the ship once I explained it's an emergency and there are no toilets in the near vicinity. Once I was seated I could hear the engines start up. I assumed they are just turning it on for electricity or whatever and thought nothing of it. Things got suspicious when I was washing my hands and I felt the ship moving around a bit. At that moment my dad called me (he was on shore and waving at me, exiting the toilet) to say "goodbye my child" barely being able to speak as he was laughing way too hard. I found the guy who let me on the ship and he said they assumed I already left and then laughingly told me to have a seat and enjoy. It was a beautiful evening, seeing the fully lit city from a new perspective. I even got a glass of sparkling wine and they showed me the engine room. Unfortunately the guiding was in Portuguese so I didn't really understand it, but at least I made the Portuguese tourists laugh once they understood how I got onto the ship.
I couldnt even tell you the number of places I've just walked into over the years, something I picked up working in television and having to access many different studios and sites as long as you act like you belong nobody questions you. Walk in with confidence, say hi to people but dont break your stride and have a reason for being there prepared no matter how bogus it is the number one thing that raises a red flag is security asking you what you're doing and you have to think of an answer on the spot

My security story, is once I was going to see a football game, and when I passed the QR code the machine it didn’t work, and the machine of the guy next to me didn’t work aswell, so the security guy checked out tickets and naturally let us in. Then I was looking for my seat and someone was seated at my place, so I kindly asked him to move, which he replied it was his own seat. After double checking, I actually bought the football match of the week after, and actually got in by some random luck ! I literally broke into the stadium and realized only already inside 😂

what really gets me is the fact that this is an international meet where people talk about how safe they are, yet Rob Banks the international Baddie has just sneaked in
That intro was genius. Man, and I feel guilty when I'm on a train with a proper ticket and try to see if I can get the conductor to walk past me without noticing that they hadn't seen me before.
There's a much higher security conference to attend, which I was sent to display at by my former work. It's held at a secure expo centre and they search bags and check your passport against badge on the way in, and background check those attending. It's also in a relatively obscure location. If you turn up the day before though, they assume you're displaying and don't check shit.
I worked as a security guard for venues before, and this very much reminds me of a time when I once said to my boss, "listen, you pay to give a very specific amount of fucks, and this [incident] surpassed it, so no, i didn't do anything to stop it." I did not get fired, boss agreed.
@@maddoxcindy5017 I mean the "this office is closed for everyone who doesn't have an appointment. I have a list with the appointments here. whats your name"-kind :)
Couple things (with 10+ years of convention staffing experience). TL;DR: The venue staff (guards, etc.) were fine. The event itself was responsible for enforcing it's particular rules, and failed to do so. Ease up on the venue security. 1) The logistics & security staff (think badge check, metal detectors, etc), are often contracted by the building itself. The event doesn't hire them directly, they're priced into the cost of the venue. Likewise, the property owners want consistent security between dozens/hundreds of events. Those staff members aren't bad at their jobs or underpaid or whatever - they just have different priorities. They care about the, like, REALLY bad stuff: bombs, weapons, etc. Whether one show prohibits recording or another doesn't - just a blur to them. They're focused on protecting life. And they're doing a good job of it. 2) When Max records the intro, you can hear him speaking much more softly. Keep in mind: the *video* recorder and the *audio* recorder are different devices. The security guard is holding the video recorder, and Max is holding the audio recorder in his pocket. It's a genius move - he speaks just softly enough that the convention floor noise covers his words, and I bet the security guard didn't hear a thing. If the guard could hear him, that would be cause enough to have Max escorted out. But - remember - the guard's loyalty isn't to the *show*, it's to the people attending it. 3) This is proof positive that events need to bring *their own staff* to enforce the rules the show feels are important. Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) is an excellent example of this - they have the venue layer to protect life, but *hundreds* of volunteers Enforcing the event layer. Hope that provided some context! As far as I'm aware, nobody died at this convention, so the venue staff did their job :) Be nice to them!
Yea, it kinda makes since. The guards really couldn’t care less if your who you say you are because even if they were to check that and called you out, firstly, they could just be mistaken, second, even if they weren’t, it would take time out of their day they would normally spend searching for weapons.
It's also worth pointing out that at 5:30 his credential were scanned and passed...so, by the staff point of view, he was a legit attendant, no reason to doubt it. For the international security convention, that's a pretty big security flaw🤣
@@Evaldo_Souza for events that dont have big threats really, the QR is likely just linked to a persons email to verify they're there. So if he photoshopped his off someone elses, he probably used their code too
As was endlessly hammered into my skull, people will **always** be the weakest link in any security. Like guards not reading tags, ignoring the "no recording equipment" and letting an audio pack through, no one batting an eye at a guy filming in an area where recording was prohibited. The fanciest gadgets in the world cannot save us from ourselves.
also I feel like they didnt give a fuck, like fiiiiiiiiine if a random guy wants to social engineer his way inside the convention let him do that, as long as he doesn't have anything dangerous or can harm people, I don't think they cared that much. all the ID checks were more of a placebo to prevent ppl from sneakin in in hordes and overwhelming the point of the convention.
The guards are hired by the venue and then the expo pays for them as part of the venue rental. Those guards don't care, at all, about expo rules. They only care about venue rules related to safety and liability.
To be fair these conventions are not that secure anyway, there are usually few if any barriers to entry besides paying for a membership or ticket. With that in mind everything on display is publicly known already and of little intelligence value.
100% agree, I work in a Museum and Security is great, but they've entirely forgone procedure out of human politeness, and I'd do the same. It's really hard to follow the rules when you know there's an event soon, and the lighting guy doesn't have his contact or ID, but he's ran late and looking increasingly distressed, and obviously carrying truckloads of equipment. If you're dressed and appropriately equipped for an event, and stress punctuality, then 9/10 times people are going to feel too uncomfortable saying 'no' when it comes down to it.
I spent a year or 2 over lockdown working freelance at offices and thus never being given proper passes, just a printed guest pass. I need access to secure areas like server rooms and such and generally found that once you were in the building you could walk through any door into any area, or just ask someone else to open it and no one would ever question it
It reminds of the time, I used to enter my friend's hostel, He was in Police department so some excess security was there. We both lived in same city, Once when I went there to meet him, I called on his cellphone he didn't answer, I waited for a while then entered the building, Security was there but no question asked nor did one checked. I knew his room no. I entered his room, he was baffled, he asked how the fuck did i entered. And we were laughing as hell. Then when as we both were leaving, one of the security asked us to sign our names and batch no. I casually started chatting with one of the guard. For how long he has been there. About water cooler and all those things, and we became sort of friends now, and i got his cell no. So we left the building and from now I used to enter when soever I wanted, As some other guards saw me chatting to one of them, And now for all I work in the department. It went all the way for 3 years, Till my friend eventually got transferred. 🤣 We still laugh as I was never caught.
Two days after Charlie Hebdo, I went to an event and everyone had to be searched. I had a gigantic bag that I'd packed full of stuff and I was nervous and annoyed. I'm Dutch and we have a saying that goes; 'Het zit bomvol' (it's full) and bom is something about the hole on a barrell or something. However, bom-vol is basically bomb-full in the literal translation. When I got told to empty the whole bag, I couldn't hide my frustration and yelled; 'Alright, fine, but..there's only a load of accessoiries in there and bags of decorative items and oh...it's just...it's BOMB full!' And then I realised that was a stupid move. The securityguard wasn't happy, but I also wasn't kicked from the queue, so it could've been worse. I just still don't get why I felt the need to emphasize that word Bomb though, and yell it that loudly. I didn't do it on purpose.
@@Widdekuu91 One time I was returning to the U.S. after accidentally traveling to Canada without a passport and the border patrol asked, "Why are you traveling." I had to stop myself from saying "to shoot people" while holding up a camera.
Thank you again Robert for attending on behalf of the International Baddies. Apologies that I couldn’t make it but I’m glad we could have someone as qualified as you fill in.
Additionally, the security for these events are more of a deterrent for the general public rather than a complete locked event, considering all the information that are presented at these events, including the individuals speaking and attending, are all public knowledge. Though, the concept of getting into a "security convention" is in fact a laugh.
I remember when those guys got arrested at Starbucks a few years ago because they were waiting for someone to join them before they ordered, I thought about all the times I went into Starbucks and other coffee chains and bought absolutely nothing and stayed for hours just reading or charging my phone when I was homeless, but I'm white with a posh accent and I pretty much just looked like a shy little girl nothing ever happened. I'd even go up to the counter and ask nicely for tap water and they'd happily give it to me. One time I fell asleep and a barista politely shook my shoulder to check if I was okay. Never got chucked out like a lot of places will do with people who obviously are sleeping rough (I never had to sleep rough, always managed to find a couch or floor which also meant I could stay pretty clean and sometimes even had access to a washing machine I could utilise and that added to the acceptability I had - but during the day I had nowhere I could go thus the coffee chains). Obviously this is a pretty low threat level but I've also very much gotten away with crimes.
This should be a national past time in the security community. Just red-teamers showing up and handing out their cards with a lanyard that says "Break N. Enter" or "Conrad Mann" or "Wier F. Raud."

Don’t forget that the whole reason he was even able to get that far is thanks to a fake ID Paper which he made by copying off of the people who had gone to the event that same day and *posted photos of themselves on Instagram…*
That's probably not a security matter. At events like these, security guards are often not employed by the same company as the overall organisers and therefore have limited responsibility, with no incentive to exceed their scope.
@@hughm1383 Oh yeah, and they could be just unfamiliar with the specific rules of this particular event too since they likely work for the security company that provides services to numerous different events. It just happens to be ironic and funny in this case.
As always- confidence is a key. If you act like you belong there, mostly people won't suspect a thing. If you're nervous, fidgety and look guilty, you will draw attention.
During that whole trend of stealing stuff from school, I noticed this exact thing. Saw a fellow student awkwardly standing in the empty lunch line, looking around bug eyed with one hand on an empty food tray. Looked him dead in they eye and just shook my head. He scampered off to his table quickly. Surprised none of the teachers noticed. Either way, he was close to getting himself in some trouble.
I learned this early. I got a job at a supposedly high security location. Security didn't have my ID badge ready on the first day so they used a Dymo label printer to make me a temporary pass. As long as I had that cheap little tag stuck to my shirt, security or other staff would swipe their badge to get me where ever I wanted to go, even places where my own badge wouldn't have worked. I just remained confident and explored where I wanted whenever time allowed. I even used the private executive bathroom just for fun.
I work in ATM repair. I've walked into secured government building with a large bag full of fluids and tools and told them I was here for the ATM. They let me bypass security and pointed me down the hall. No ID. No bag check. No questions. Its amazing what straight posture and a lanyard will get you.
It's scary how often the right clothes/accessories will get you places you shouldn't be able to. I work in food delivery, and that red bag has prompted countless people to hold open locked apartment building and retirement home entrance doors for me. It feels icky, and I'm not even up to anything. *I* know I won't break that trust, but nobody else here does. They "know" I'm safe in the sense that a friendly 30-something woman with a delivery bag is clearly bringing food to one of their neighbors... but stalkers and horrible exes also look and act like regular people. Is there food in my bag? Am I truly going to the unit I say? You can't read my mind, so please just trust the dang system and make me jump through your security's hoops. It won't hurt my feelings in the slightest. In fact it'll make me feel BETTER about delivering there, because it shows you take your neighbors' safety seriously.
@@tonynasaofficial he would still get in, just wear the right clothes, have a paper that looks about right, be confident and suddenly people dont bother you, especially these days, besides, its bloody London not China or something
