The simple question, to my mind, is this:  Does preventing people from
bringing these devices into the show prevent the incident security is
guarding against?   If the answer is yes, go to it with my blessing.  If no,
then the measures serve no purpose save to limit the actions of everyone.

If I can sit in my car on the road outside Andrews and use a scanner somehow
to trigger an incident at an airshow then how does preventing me from
bringing inside the grounds mean anything?  Hell, a criminal doing such a
thing would have more reason to stay outside the gates anyway!  Not knowing
the details of the incidents mentioned, I don't know if the range is a
factor.  If the criminal has to be real close, fine, ban the devices.
