Security at the National FFA Convention

This is the line of metal detectors and security personal that FFA members, guests and exhibitors at the Expo needed to go through to get into the Indianapolis Convention Center. In addition to walking through the metal detectors all bags, backpacks and computer bags were opened and checked. I don't think the security at the Minneapolis St. Paul airport was as thorough as it was to get into the Convention Center!

As you can see there many lines that were backed up out to the street. It is kind of sad that you need security like this. I guess it is a sign of the times we live in. With more than 65,000 FFA members and guests all concentrated in one area it could be a target for a mental ill individual that wanted to make some kind of statement. This makes you wonder what security will be like with President Trump speaking Saturday at Lukis Oil Stadium?
