And yet another story about Citi Field security ruining a Mets fan experience

I used to know exactly whose station to submit my bag to, but the guy I liked won a customer-engagement award and apparently got promoted. In his place this Tuesday night was a handsy fellow who felt compelled to search every nook and cranny of my belongings, diving right into my unopened bottle of water, declaring it open and therefore a safety hazard before dramatically discarding it into the trash. My argument — that the water was never opened (I know I never opened it) — proved uncompelling to someone who thought a golf shirt emblazoned with a logo elevated him to the status of Secretary of Homeland Obnoxiousness.

Hey Mets: It’s August. You’re out of it. Few of us are showing up. This might be the moment to remember you should treat the remnants of your public with kid gloves rather than an iron fist.

  1. I had a strange security experience last night too at the left field gate.  Security wanded me, then patted me down.  Then, he asked me to empty my pocket which contained my cell phone.  I did and then proceeded to turn around so he can wand my back with my phone in my hand.  Then security told me “don’t turn around until I tell you to”.  I then went to put my phone back in my pocket and he then told me “leave that out until I tell you to”.  So, I then had to ask “what’s going on tonight, is the president here or something?”  I don’t think he liked that/.  I don’t care being I’ve been a plan holder for 28 seasons.
