TSA, DHS to gropinate the Super Bowl, Mardis Gras

http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2013/01/30/new-orleans-challenge-policing-the-super-gras/

Fans can expect to be watched, sniffed and pawed as they enter the Superdome.

“Fans can expect to pass through metal detectors and a pat-down search. After the pat-down search, fans will be asked to unzip any coats. All bags will be x-rayed,” Miller said.

Gamma ray scanners can see through six inches of steal, monitored from a command center.

“TSA of course is working on making sure the airspace around the stadium is closed during the game. Also working providing K-9 teams and screeners and all the rest, said Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary.

(More at the link. And don't worry; once everyone is in the stadium there will be an announcement to begin having fun...NOW.)
