If you believe these people are 'a bit dim' that says more about your limited understanding of IS I'm afraid. Many of them are normal intelligent people who truly believe they are doing Gods work and that is why they are so dangerous, dim they are not. The likelihood of an Albion steward successfully finding weapons and bombs and somehow managing to convince the fella with them to hand them over is so absurd its laughable. And if they did why would I not be happy with that? Are you suggesting I'd be pleased with a terror attack? Don't be a dick.

I meant you'd be happy enough if the steward took it of him

All this extra security is all rather pointless though really, the stewards look into bags and do a cursory pat down. They have no idea what they are looking for and what idiot armed with guns and a suicide belt is going to dutifully queue up and then allow his bomb and weapons to be found by some plum in a flourescent orange jacket. All it achieves is a psychological boost that they are seen to be doing something extra in the wake of what happened in France it isn't actually making anything safer. The only real advice is for everyone to increase their vigilance and to report anything or anyone they think is suspicious or out of the ordinary, if that means someone gets offended by being pulled up and spoken to then so be it. Extra bag searches and pat downs are a complete waste of time because if an attack comes it will be sudden, brutal and no-one will be able to stop it.

Yes. This.

I had my David Beckham body spray confiscated by a steward once.

The Amex was a safer place that afternoon at least.

I tend to agree. It's more theatre than genuine security. By all means be sensible but checking everyone for bomb making materials is a ridiculous reaction.

Airline authorities are due to withdraw the ludicrous 100 mil rule as they have admitted it's an arbitrary figure plucked out do the air. Though it's good to know that some spotty Herbert on his Saturday job has got the security of tens of thousands of us in hand. A more savvy, motivated crack squad of security pros you couldn't hope to meet.

And as more and more people get angry about queuing in the wind and the rain for some ridiculous search, tempers will get frayed and the searches will be forgotten

About right, the stewards won't want to get soaked to the skin doing this. It does appear to be a bit over the top assuming just the Amex is doing this and not all football grounds this weekend.

Takes less than a minute out of your life, so what's the problem? Usual moaners on here would be crying like bitches if something did happen and blaming the club.

Damned if they do , damned if they don't.
