I consider my actions (or inactions) to be votes. In this case, I vote against leaving my bag at the door (with a stranger). I will walk right past security with it, and if they want the bag I will leave the store and not shop there until I am not carrying anything.

Thoughts?
This is what I love about Free Market Capitalism. the store has the freedom to put in whatever security they think that they need, and you have the freedom to put up with it, or not. If the store finds that they are losing too much business they have the freedom to keep the policy or not. It they keep it, someone else has the right to open a store that doesn't have those policies to pick up business from disgruntled ex-customers like you, etc, etc, etc....

All about choices baby!
