Many local shows don't pat down people on the way in. I've attended many hardcore shows (by bands like converge, saetia, cave-in, daughters, as the sun sets, american nightmare... basically lots of bands 'tougher' than Pantera) with some rough crowds. The larger venues that double as night clubs can afford a staff capable of patting down people. But most places can not. The problem is venues (under 2,000 people) make make little to no profit off live music shows, and subsequently the staff to running the shows are always a bare bones skeleton crew. In a scene where its a constant battle of making ticket prices low enough to get people to attend, but making it enough to break even, the idea of 'good security' is almost laughable.
