Year 1 - Entered through the stockman's gate both days. Never had anyone question, look at our tickets, or even glance our way. I guess they thought we were with the folks bringing livestock, even though you couldn't bring livestock through that gate and we didn't really look like someone that would be bringing livestock.
Year 2 - First day went through gates/metal detectors (or whatever they are called). Presented LTC to attendant who pointed us toward officer sitting in elevated stand. Officer looked at LTC, told us to keep them concealed, and wished us a good day. Second day, went through stockman's gate.
Year 3/a couple of weeks ago - See my post above.
Others in our party pushed a stroller around the detectors. It was not checked. It seems that they are more concerned with the person and checking bags, and even then, I don't know that they checked them thoroughly.
There is no security if someone can enter an unattended, or minimally attended gate, and not checked or items, i.e. strollers aren't checked. Any "security" they have at other gates is moot.
