We all went through metal detectors and TSA Lite ™️ security to get in the door. I vacillated between mirthful amused curiosity and annoyed rural heathen while in attendance.

I would leave. I can't stomach complying with police state intrusion and infantilizing "for your protection" nonsense. They are doing to our travel and gatherings what the neo-Puritans are doing to our libraries.

I too am getting rather fatigued of the “I’m here to save you” and “It’s for your own (or the greater) good” brigade.
