If you do not have a bag you do not have to go through bag check. However, every attendee will be going through a high traffic walk through scanner which is ADA compliant. In the event the scanner goes off a DCC staff member will use a security wand to clear each person who went through the scanner. While it’s unlikely, they may ask to take off your Fursuit head temporarily,
