If you attempt to circumvent this by giving the screener one question and asking another when you reach the microphone, you will be removed from the panel immediately. Repeated attempts will result in loss of badge and dismissal from the event.

>During the convention, you may see our Guests of Honor walking around, either to get to convention events, or coming to/from their room. Please do not approach the Guests or try to stop them. They will be accompanied by a volunteer handler/security personnel or staff member who will stop you. If you attempt to press the issue or are belligerent with the handler or staff member it could result in your dismissal from the convention.
> During the convention, you may not physically or verbally abuse the Guests. You should not touch them unless you ask and they agree, and you may not take liberties with their permission or their person. This includes asking for a hug and attempting to kiss or grope them. It also includes grabbing them or holding on to them. If you attempt to press the issue or are belligerent with the handler or staff member it could result in your dismissal from the convention.
