Do you object to BAG INSPECTIONS at stores

Do you object to BAG INSPECTIONS at stores?

Do you object to staff asking to inspect your bag? (they are only doing their job) 

Will you shop at a  store that asks to inspect your bag or will you go elsewhere? 

Do bag inspections and security checks help to stop shop lifting and keep prices down?

If you object WHY?

Do you think that objecting to a bag inspection makes a person look guilty or they are guilty? 

Rememer that its a condition of entry at just about every major /medium/small store in Australia

Has anyone attended any big concerts recently?  At a venue like Allphones Arena?  Or a big sporting event?

How did you go refusing the security guards when they asked you to open your personal  bag?

Was it a case of "to heck with my civil rights, I paid for this!! I will get my satisfaction later wen i go to big w!!" and complied?

LOL meep.

To those that have read the whole thread, then it is quite clear the bag check objectors are far in the minority... let them suffer angst over it...work up a nervous sweat everytime they leave a big store.. wondering will the staff ask me to open my carry bag.. I will sort them out if they do etc.

Taking a gun through an airport or alcohol to a concert is not the same in my mind

Of course it is the same.  They want to check your personal bag to make sure you don't have something in it, that you shouldn't.

I have maintained that it is treating customers like thieves, not vigilantes.

We are talking about grocery shopping aren't we?

I agree.

It was also mentioned before in this thread (airport security scans) when more than 1 poster claimed 'no-one gets to look in my handbag' not even my family"

Also mentioned by many posters here in previous posts, is that they do not feel like thieves when/if a store bag check persons requests they open their bag.
