They did as well at the Fantasy of Trees, security thanked me when they saw me turn around (without a fuss) and then return for entry.

Do any of them allow phasers, blasters or disrupters?

This is from comic con 2016 but its pretty standard from what I've seen.  

• All costume props and weapons must be inspected at the Costume Props Desk, located near the outside door in the lobby of Hall E.
• All costume props and weapons must conform to state and federal law.
• Projectile costume props and weapons must be rendered inoperable.
• Functional (real) arrows must have their tips removed and be bundled and zip-tied to a quiver.
• Costume swords must be tied to your costume in such a way that they can’t be drawn.
• Costumes featuring stilts must be approved at the Costume Props Desk.
• At certain times, due to crowds and safety issues, people in oversized costumes may be asked to leave the Exhibit Hall.
• After your costume props have been checked, they will be tagged by security, and you will be given a wristband to wear to designate that your props have been checked.
• Security will escort you to the Costume Props Desk for inspection if your costume prop is not tagged.

 

And then of course it's getting worse as well.

They do.  All sorts of stuff to hide a gat.  Heck, ii could have got an ar15 in several costumes and props. All foil covered and hail-mary passes
