I had an appointment with a seller of some parts I needed a few hours north of the show Saturday afternoon and had to leave with a pin I bought from the freeplay area around 2:30 to make that appointment.
I borrowed a pin cart to safely wheel the fully assembled game out to a wide open area in front of the garage doors to safely break it down there. Paid my $25 fee and no issues.

Quoted from ForceFlow:
Maybe have a clearly marked staging area marked off with red tape and/or signage for breaking down or setting up pins?
[edit]: then again, this might not work since a lot of folks use a hand truck to move pins. You can't really use a hand truck to move a pin around after it has been set up. So, maybe a few pin carts?

I fear the same thing. We already have a creeping burgeoning police state out in the world around us, why bring it into a pinball show which is supposed to be fun?

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:
That's definitely the way I would handle things. Higher costs and more police. Works for the government.
Sounds like the fun is going to go right out the window.

If you can't or don't want to deal with the pressure, throw in the towel. I'm sure someone would like to step in and pocket the cash generated by the show. Admission fees, vendor fees, early withdraw fees.....It's obviously generating revenue for you.
Don't get me wrong, I had a great time at the show, but your response was extremely crass and very standoffish.
