Convention Etiquette: Discussion and Advice on Do's and Don'ts

I've had to make it clear to several people in various Facebook convention groups that we are not vigilantes, we do not advocate physically harming this person and others of his ilk (even though we'd like to) we're just ordinary members of the public expressing ourselves through our hobby.
If you see something suspicious at a convention, if something or someone strikes you as being out of place, go to a member of event staff and express your concerns.sigpic
Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

After the cosplay fiasco at the Phoenix Comicon 2017 convention(now Phoenix Fan Fusion), the organizers had to hire a security company that uses TSA/airport style screening. Inside and outside the convention center, cameras are everywhere. This new company(same one used by Phoenix Zoo for black tie/formal events) was used at the 2018 convention, and IMO scared off people who wanted to attend, including newbies, and weren't aware of the new security policy.
