I could beat someone with shoes, but they weren't confiscated!:p

Well you had no need of the bike pump inside the concert, of course you do when outside the concert and so they should have just held it for you.

At least it's a lesson learned, try to avoid bringing anything that isn't absolutely necessary unless you know it'll be allowed (I was at a concert once where they confiscated cameras, they didn't return them or anything just said you can leave with the camera or enter without it).

I hate that with cameras! Remember being at a gig that confiscated cameras, but were then selling disposable ones once you got in!

Not many people can sell pics taken from a disposable camera to a newspaper.

I can totally understand the pump being removed to be honest. You might have good intentions, but security aren't to know that.

The gig must have felt a bit flat without it . .


*runs*

Just be thankful you werent going through customs. I think a bicycle pump is now considered a weapon of mass destruction along with lipstick and Stinger bars.

you shouldve hid it down the front of your jeans.
