No more checking equipment?

Do you need to do card/identification checks? If you do, then just combine the two.

As for tongue rings, how do you check for these without making a mockery of things? I generally just say no rings, watches, etc... (and get them to remove any visible ones) and mention that any hidden ones should be removed for your own safety. I'm not checking girls (or boys for that matter) bellybuttons for hidden rings or studs
