Maybe she looks suspicious?.:/
I'm not sure which theater(s) she was talking about.
Any search would be easy to beat with a gun, candy, or a flask. My 40oz of High Life I make my old lady smuggle would be no more though (and no, I don't drink while carrying).
Yeah, you won't catch me believing searching ladies purses is gonna do much. But for being the liberal mecca of Texas, Austin is still pretty laid back. For quite awhile after the full body scanners at airports were rolled out, you'd still just get waved through the metal detectors a lot of the times. Worst they've done is make it pretty clear they aren't a fan of gun shows, so everyone just started doing them in the suburbs (Cedar Park).
