Correct, they absolutely don't. I recall metal detectors at a Spartan Race at AT&T park. I had a man bag, which didn't go through the metal detector (the reason, I do not know). Because I was wearing runner gear (or because they didn't care), they didn't check my bag. I could have had anything in there. I did have a pocket knife.
