Watch out, bag

Every morning I walk past a pub that has a sign in the window saying:
Warning! Random bag searches are being carried out.
And it always makes me snigger.

  1. Wonders whether this is a slightly non PC snigger!

  2. Well you can go to that strange place if you want! I was simply sniggering at the idea that at any moment, from any direction, a random search could be imposed on my bag. When actually, the pub pays security guards to search the bags of suspicious-looking types.

    It should read:

    Warning! If you look like you have drugs or a knife in your fake Louis Vuitton, a weedy bar man is going to tell that big guy in black to come give you a bit of a bullying.

    Use of the passive to dodge responsibility. Just looks silly.
