Clear bags are also required for most NFL games if your bag is larger than about 4×5 inches. I was told to take my purse back to the car because my purse exceeded the size limit by a half inch at a Colts game. Frustrating, but they were just doing their job.

I think the clear bag policy is so that if your bag gets set down or lost somewhere, it is less likely to cause a disruption to the event by appearing suspicious. If it is clear, no need for alarm because security can see what\’s in it without risk. Although a clear bag stuffed with tampons may be suspicious to some, haha!

Question: if there are allegations but no criminal conviction what is an employer legally allowed to do? Can you fire someone for only a complaint that cannot be proven? I suppose if you had a code of conduct that was broken that would be a reason to remove someone from employment but is USAG then allowed to use that to ban someone? I guess I’m just curious what you can do since it’s always innocent until proven guilty.
