Super Bowl Security

[mark46th]

You should fly a drone with a smoke grenade on it right at one of the TV Cameras...

[Divemaster]

All of that security will be needed to protect the Patriots' end zone.

The U.S. Government.... The worlds biggest runaway train.

Government waste and abuse at it's finest! I'm guessing 5,000 armed ground security will also be there, MRAPS and all....... and you're footing the "cowards" bill for "security".



Customs and Border Protection to enforce No Fly Zone

GLENDALE, Ariz. - Protecting the Super Bowl is a big task, so how do authorities protect the big game from the air?

It's a menacing machine, a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter operated by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. We climbed aboard to find out what the crew is looking for and how they will protect fans at the Super Bowl.

"We're able to provide a good security blanket of what is going on around the area," said an agent.

CBP has dedicated 100 people, 7 helicopters, and 3 fixed wing aircraft to the Super Bowl. They will work with local and federal authorities enforcing a 30 mile "No Fly Zone" around the University of Phoenix Stadium.


Aside from protecting the skies, the crew of four can be pressed into action in the case of emergency.

"We're here to enforce the flight restrictions, but we also have a lot of different agencies out here, federal and state so if any kind of emergency were to happen we would be able to assist and respond," said an agent.

If an aircraft gets within 10 miles of the Super Bowl, a team of F-16's over the valley are prepared to shoot down any aircraft they deem as an imminent threat.

How about an agency appropriate enforcement of the U.S. laws and a "No Illegals" zone within 30 miles of the stadium?

Luke AFB is 10 maybe 20 "seconds" away from the stadium via an F-16..... I'll let you know if I see a tanker......

Then who would do all the landscaping/drug dealing in the Phoenix area?

[Richard]

Nobody wants a BLACK SUNDAY or a THE SUM OF ALL FEARS scenario on their watch.

Oh, and the special Lombardi Trophy for this game is ready, too.

[Team Sergeant]

This just gets better and better....... and you're footing the bill for the agents to play.

Oh and click the link to see the picture of the stadium. See "all" that water? It's a canal that about 15 ft wide, looks like a lake doesn't it? Go to Google Maps and university of Phoenix stadium. You'll see there's only that canal. Talk about a trick picture. (I live very close to the stadium, drive past it all the time, only thing close by is farmland.)






DHS Reveals Super Bowl Surveillance Techniques -- Sort Of

The Secret Service will be searching social media messages this Sunday to discern between real and bogus threats during the Super Bowl, according to Department of Homeland Security officials. But agents will not be using sarcasm-detecting software they have expressed an interest in buying, the agency said.

Social media-tracking technology is just one piece of surveillance gear the government will deploy for the face-off between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

In addition, DHS and the Pentagon will be "providing airspace security around the venue," DHS officials said Wednesday afternoon. "No drones," DHS spokesman S.Y. Lee told Nextgov.

DHS cybersecurity professionals paid to try hacking into systems have been probing Internet-connected devices at the stadium to check for weaknesses that miscreants could breach. Department officials would not comment on any specific systems being tested, though we hope they're securing instant replay feeds and any equipment that could be used to, say, deflate a football.

Also, the Secret Service will conduct "open-source social media monitoring for situational awareness," officials said. As Nextgov first reported last summer, the agency has been shopping for software that can identify sarcasm, among other things.

"We aren't doing that," Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donavan said Wednesday. The agency, however, will continuously screen activities on social media sites, including Al Jazeera Blog and Facebook, using search terms, such as "black out," in accordance with DHS privacy guidelines, Lee confirmed.

Airspace restrictions will be enforced by F-16 Fighting Falcons and helicopters, according to Defense Department and DHS officials.

You need to adjust your glasses, dem are ducks........

Drone ducks, each equipped with 8oz of C-4, meant to neutralize any ducks that try to fly in the "No Fly Zone".

And a fine time for more illegals to jump the border, Sunday there will be a few hundred less Border agents securing the Arizona border......
