Toss em over the fence and walk around to get them after you go through the ticket entrance

Has anyone been to the Topsfield Fair this year? After seeing that the Fryburg Fair installed metal detectors, I was wondering what the status was with Topsfield.

Something maybe important to keep in mind regarding specific context for walk through metal detectors is that they are now portable. The units Fryburg is using are the new normal to be seen lately, which is the Opengate by Ceia. CEIA Security Metal Detectors

So, with that in mind people should remember that it's as simple as carrying these over to an entrance to set up.

They are very common down here in FL also.

For those looking to try to sneak through these we've found walking very slowly through them does not seem to set off for Glock 17's or Glock 45's. Not sure what that says about the quality of the unit (doesnt look good) but it's a thing.

I can tell you that a lot of metal made it through those metal detectors undetected. So I’m not sure how good they are or whether you want to chance it. Just throwing a simple observation out there.

for sure.

The problem with the Opengates is the sensitivity setting is a collosal pain in the ass. You can set it so it'll go off nonstop from false positives, or you can set it to find things pistol size and larger. Oddly, when set for pistol sized objects the units cant find full size butcher knifes.

Apparently there is a patch out for this to attempt to address the issues. Shotgun umbrellas and eye glass cases set these off just as much as guns do.

For nearly $20,000 a set I would expect better.
 
No issues. They asked if we had pepper spray, knives or alcohol in the baby’s backpack 😂. Also, who says you can’t still buy a brand new Glock in Massachusetts? IMG_9884.jpeg
