Mixwell: Crotch it. Works every time unless there are metal detectors.

number4one: taking cameras into prohibited areas is against the law, and i am a law abiding citizen.

dmbfan524: my ex girlfriend put it down her bra.

Themabrklyn: I just put it in my jacket pocket. They didn't search me at all.

Rob: Crotching it never fails.

number4one: honestly i usually just throw my camera in my purse and throw some tampons on top, get in a line that has a guy checking people&he will see them and get all shy and motion you along your merry way

Acmorgan: i always wonder how people get video cameras in, i'm not talkin the little 3 x 5 inch digis, but just normal ones that aren't big, but aren't small enough to crotch

Boredtotears: in Atlanta all they did when someone had a camera was to take the battery out. So all you would have to do is hide another battery somewhere, like in your shoe or something.

holbiedmb94: well my cousin crotched a video camera&and in about 5 minutes i'll put up one of the many screenshots :)

Davestheman: Crotch it man& crotch it

Marsuffi: I am a female. They were ready for the tampon trick at Blue Cross [Arena]. I had some in my purse where I was originally going to put the camera. She searched with her flashlight for a good 10-15 seconds&She really wanted to find something.

sabres8182: I placed my digital camera in my glove. I had that glove in my one hand, and as i was about to get up to security, i let them see me take off my other glove, which was on top of the glove with the camera inside it, and they don't think a thing&. works every time

SeekUpTooMuch: crotching it always works&unless you decide to crotch too many things at once&I had my digital camera and my bud and my bowl all down in my area and while I was walking through the line to get patted down, something shifted and my camera fell down my leg. I had to walk with a stiff leg all the way into the arena&

Dirwin: At Blue Cross we took our Minolta Dimage xt in. It's ridiculously small, so my sister just threw it in the bottom of her purse&and they let her in. After that we got cocky. The two of us went to Allstate [Arena] two nights later and&she took a much larger purse and built a false bottom into it. We put the small Minolta xt, my Minolta s414 (a much larger digital photo camera), and a small RCA Mini-DV camera in. The woman that checked her purse felt down to the false bottom and didn't even flinch&just let her right in. I put batteries and CF card inside my sock against my achilles, and that wasn't an issue at all. We ended up with a fair amount of video and maybe 30 decent pics&All in all, a really good time, and we definitely had fun beating security.
