"This is good for them to see all the things that could go wrong so it doesn't happen when the bad guys are there," Weiss said.
Now retired again from party crashing, Weiss said he would watch the Oscars from home Sunday. He was politely asked by the Academy Awards' executive administrator not to crash the ceremony again. But he had no problem sharing the secret to sneaking behind the velvet rope.
"If you dress the part and put on an air that you belong there -- and that you don't really have time to be stopped by anyone -- people are generally very polite," Weiss said. "People in security don't want to offend big shots. If you look like one, they won't bother you."
He added: "That's the whole flaw in the system: the human touch."
