Security Check

How to turn the experience we all hate into a money-maker.

A new nightclub in Manhattan, a second version soon to open in Berlin.

Everyone gets in the club, at least the advertisement says so, but they all have to get frisked and they have no say in who does it or how. Could be the big blond boy, could be the tall lady in grey. They will be fashionable, if you are not dressed appropriately you can be asked to remove your garment. If you are very offensive, you get taken to a small room to the side. Some get turned away but only after paying the cover charge. For their troubles they get a tattoo declaring their suspicious status.

Drinks are served in small 8oz bottles especially designed for the club. You get to mix them on your way to the bathroom. At least once a night there is an action, either a drive-by shooting or a suicide bombing. No one gets hurt but the feeling is realistic. Afterwards everyone gets to be on television to explain what it was like.

The club web site has a video of the night up by noon the next morning, complete with video surveillance of the frisking, the hallways and your reaction to the attack. No liability is assumed by the club. More details to follow
