FILE - In this Sept. 5, 2015, file photo, Sheriffs keep an eye on "burners" at a party at Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert near Gerlach, Nev. Burning Man organizers say they won't challenge the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's plans to cap their attendance at current levels under a new 10-year permit but they will fight any move toward federally-sanctioned screenings for weapons and drugs at the counterculture celebration. BLM proposed earlier this month that private security firm be hired to screen all vehicles and participants. Burning Man says it would subject "a peaceable gathering of people to searches without probable cause." (Andy Barron/Reno Gazette-Journal via AP, File)
