Gabba security is as bonkers as ever, cops throwing a guy out yesterday neglected to take his beer off him - one cop ended up wearing it as they put him out through the gate. Scary woman on the gate this morning terrified the kiddie in front of me - she had a plastic box with sandwiches in the the Harpy said she should've put them in a plastic bag, then she tried to confiscate my sunglasses cos they are in a hard case and Harpy reckoned it could be a missile
