Bag checks to be implemented at Comiket
The Comic Market preparations committee has announced that they’ll be conducting bag checks at the coming summer Comic Market which will be held on the 15th of August. People caught with items that are in breach of regulations will have the items confiscated and the items will not be returned.
The reason for this is that they’ve received several threats since July (which is normal at Comiket), and in light of recent events, they were instructed to conduct checks and had no choice but to do so.
Sounds like this Comiket might be hell if they can’t execute it smoothly. I can’t even imagine how they can check the bags with over 150,000 people per day.
