Picture this: You walk up, feeling confident. You hand your bag over. The security person gives it a look that suggests they’ve seen it all. They’ll pull out your chapstick, your keys, and maybe that granola bar from 2019. Don’t panic.
They’ll measure your bag against a template. If it fits, you’re in. If it doesn’t, you get the dreaded head shake. You then have two choices: toss your bag in the trash (ouch) or run it back to your car while your friends text you “Where are you?!”. Pro tip: bring a car key only, no huge keychain. It speeds things up.
