Security seems really anal this year. My girlfriend has had the same purse for the last three years. She has brought this purse with her since her first HHN in 08. Her purse has a chain connected to the shoulder strap so it fits comfortably around her body and doesn't fall off her shoulder all the time. She's had no problem with it with her FFP the last two years and the last few weekends of XX until last Sunday. Why is a barely 6" chain that dangerous? I guess some "security" at the front gates take their jobs way too seriously!
