I do this all the time with my camera stuff.
I'm an amateur photographer (did weddings part-time), but bring my camera bag everywhere. I'll walk up to a security guard and ask him for directions to the press area, making sure that my camera is decked out (DSLR with battery grip, flash, and huge lens).
I haven't had the balls to try at the NFL level, but it works fine at the collegiate / city level depending on the size of the game.
This form of social engineering is acting like you belong and that you know what you're doing.
- oskarth 14y agoI understand the general principle of how this works, but how are things like press cards dealt with? It seems like that's a major signal that you aren't part of the in-group.
- wting 14y agoThis starts going down the rabbit hole, but you can misrepresent yourself as shooting for <small newspaper / blog / group> and say there were communication problems. Other times there are multiple entrances and if security doesn't communicate with each other you can try again. It all depends on how willing you are to push the boundaries.
