UPDATE, 3 p.m. | The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department took to social media Saturday to remind FIFA Fan Fest visitors of the event's clear bag policy.

KCPD said bags that don't meet policy requirements are "diverting law enforcement resources, as the bags must be thoroughly inspected." Police also said there has been an issue with fans stashing "non-complaint bags" around the venue, which creates a security risk.
