The search is a security activity. The queue is a crowd-control problem. You need both skills on the same table.
Bag search only works if the person doing it is licensed, briefed on prohibited items, and fast enough that the line does not become a second crowd. OnGuard runs screening on event entries with the same uniformed standard as the floor team.
A good brief lists what is banned, what is tagged and returned, and who makes the call when someone argues. Do not leave that to a volunteer with a torch.
We pair screening with licensed crowd control so a refusal at the table does not turn into a fight in the car park.
Takeaways
- Licensed officers on the table
