Not Comics: 500 DVDs Seized at Con

This isn't comics, but is it really that hard for convention organizers to screen its DVD sellers so that seizures based on violations of federal copyright law don't have to take place during the show itself (assuming that's what happened)? Can the convention community make this part of SOP? I know people are busy, but I'm thinking these aren't exactly Sherlock Holmes-level investigations that lead to such busts, and could be managed by a savvy organizer acting in his or her own self-interest Cons have enough of a garage sale atmosphere that a dollop of selling weed out of the back of a Volvo station wagon atmosphere has to be pretty undesirable for vendors not doing anything wrong.
