A lot of venues, especially those that cater primarily to the hip-hop crowd, are employing various security measures to ensure patrons’ safety. But most of the tactics — from invasive pat-downs that border on manhandling to token once-overs from a $15 handheld wand from Radio Shack — are insulting, humiliating or just plain ineffective. While the outside of Paladium and its conjoined twin, Oasis, may resemble the exterior of Scarface‘s posh club, the Babylon, a word to all you Tony Montana wannabes: Leave your “little friend” at home. Paladium’s staff won’t paw you with a DIA-level frisking — what would be the point, with an industrial-sized metal detector at the front entrance? — but they won’t allow you to be the bad guy, either.
