If you have a smaller purse or bag it is subject to search.
Please leave all of these items safely locked in your cars or at home.
If you attempt to enter with an oversized bag, our security staff will ask you to return these items to your car.
The only exception to this are clutch wallets & those with legitimate medical bags/equipment.
Those items will be allowed but simply need to be searched before entering.
