The metal detectors will help ensure that everyone attending FanimeCon is following the Code of Conduct. <\/p> Since we know that passing through metal detectors can sometimes be difficult, we will be taking advantage of a newer technology called an \u201cE-Gate\u201d. E-Gates will not require you to take items out of your pockets or have your bag inspected unless the E-Gate flags you for an additional check. <\/p> Since some events will still be using regular metal detectors and you can still be flagged by the E-Gates, we suggest you try to keep bags to a minimum and be mindful of any metal items you may be carrying.\u00a0<\/p> If you would like to know more, please go to the Convention Safety Initiative webpage<\/a> and we hope you have a wonderful and safe FanimeCon 2024.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/www.fanime.com\/?p=9346"},{"headline":"Survive Said The Prophet","posted":"2024-04-24 17:00:00","description":" Survive Said The Prophet (abbreviated as SSTP) formed in Tokyo, Japan in 2011.
