I've done big nights in Amnesia, Pacha, Privilege, Zoo Project, Space, Ushuaia, Es Paradis and Privilege over a few visits over the last two years and this year at We Love in Space was the only place I've seen anything like it - really odd. Before this the most intense security I've experienced is the odd half hearted pat down and the occasional glance in my wallet at the door, never anything inside a club.
The crowd was its standard drugsy self so I'm not sure how they were singling people out to be honest, it seemed to be entirely at random. I didn't see anyone being thrown out but I did see them taking stuff off people multiple times. I'd love to know if anyone else has seen similar this year or would know the reasoning behind it.
