The question as to whether or not there should be security at big bodybuilding shows is somewhat of a novel concept. Bodybuilding is very much a niche sport and does not command the audience sizes of major league sports like basketball, football, hockey, and baseball. For those events it’s very common to go through metal detectors and get patted down by security before being admitted to the games. But in bodybuilding you’re dealing with a fraction of the number of attendees and nobody would ever think to put metal detectors outside.
