“Entering a big league ballpark will be a bit like going through an airport by 2015. Major League Baseball has told its 30 teams they must implement security screening for fans by then, either with hand-held metal detection or walk-through magnetometers. ‘This procedure, which results from MLB’s continuing work with the Department of Homeland Security to standardize security practices across the game, will be in addition to bag checks that are now uniform throughout MLB,’ baseball spokesman Michael Teevan said Tuesday. In an effort to increase security this season, the NFL limited the size and type of bags fans can bring to games.”
