Bagpipes get past security at Boston Stadium during World Cup match

During the Scotland versus Haiti match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Boston, a fan successfully brought bagpipes past the stadium's strict security measures. Boston Stadium enforces a clear bag policy, prohibiting most non-compliant items to ensure security and efficiency. However, the FIFA guidelines allow for musical instruments larger than the designated size with prior approval, which may have helped the fan. The incident raises questions about security screening protocols at the event, particularly regarding large items not typically allowed.
