‘Airport-style security’ for Bill Clinton event in Jacksonville

Attendees of Bill Clinton‘s appearance in Jacksonville Friday afternoon should prepare for “airport-style security,” according to an email from event organizers.

The email, sent out Friday morning under the aegis of “updated details,” offers fairly detailed logistics for the event, held in the secured space of Jacksonville’s main public library.

“Please arrive early and expect airport-style security upon entry. Prohibited items include homage signs, large bags, alcohol, weapons, or noisemakers. No food or drinks are allowed inside the event. Water will be provided inside the event,” the email from FL Together reads.

“In order to ensure that the security process is quick and effective please help us by leaving large bags and liquids at home or in the car. Getting through security is much like at the airport,” the email continues, again presenting the reassuring comparison of event security to the loving ministrations of the TSA, “and we want to make sure everyone in line is able to attend the event.”

“By leaving large bags and removing all items from your pockets, and removing large belt buckles, it will make the process move much faster,” the message concludes.
