I've always thought they had no right either.


I actually picked up the tip from Dave Champion, host of the American Radio broadcast at http://americanradioshow.us/

It's mostly a political podcast, unaffiliated with any party but with a distinctively libertarian/constitutionalist tone.

He had given this advice to his listeners some time ago and as a direct result of this, a listener had a confrontation with Best Buy and the police resulting in Best Buy dropping their security goon bag checker policy. Unlike my confrontation, this poor fellow was physically detained until the police arrived. The police ended up scratching their heads, calling for help up the chain of command, and finally advising the Best Buy manager that HE, not the SHOPPER, was in the wrong. Rather than press charges against the manager, the fellow pushed this issue with Best Buy corporate management and eventually killed their bad anti-customer security policy.

If Fry's is really that bad, their customers should do the same thing.
