Said we couldn't bring the purse in but we could throw it away or check it. We thought ok then we'll empty everything into a friends clear bag. The container was so small an evening bag might fit in it.

Security had a container that your purse should fit inside. We weren't prepared but i had a small purse so didn't think I had a problem. Select folks were prepared and brought clear bags for their stuff.

Upon entry the usual search of bags, purses, etc was taking place.
