A Canadian court has ordered a cinema to pay $10,000 damages after staff searched a family’s bags looking for camming equipment, but ended up breaching their privacy. The search by staff also turned up something embarrassing in older daughter’s bag. Mom had no idea. Not impressed.

The theater makes most of their money from concessions so it only make sense that they would frisk people for illegal candy which in turn will make the customer drop and lose some extra coinage during the bag search. It is a win-win.

Is a movie theater a public place? Seems to me (and the law may be contrary to how it seems to me, of course) that a movie theater is private property and the owners can do whatever the heck they need to do to protect their interests and if patrons don't like it, they can go elsewhere.
I saw Up last night and was wishing the theater had a policy against taking infants into the theater.
