Taking a look at the annual homeland security/war on terror trade show & pre-crime enforcement exhibition.
“Super Bowl security plan now in effect”
Life wasn’t meant to change after the Osama bin Laden take down-
“New Oreleans prime target for terrorists”
And-
“…no specific or credible reporting on any threats at this time.”
1,300 federal agents.
What prevents terror strikes at hundreds of public events & locations unsupervised by federal authorities?

Looking back at Super Bowl security-
2012-
35 federal agencies?
It doesn’t matter what the situation is each year- The Super Bowl is the site of something like a Homeland Security Industrial Complex trade show for DHS employees, contractors, surveillance gear manufacturers, SWAT teams, etc.
Newspeople play the role of federal public affairs personnel.
Super Bowl security: Behind the scenes with the FBI
1:41 “Soldiers in the lobby”
Everyone is in on the act.
Note that CBP has its own news agency to promote operations. Who needs a free and independent press anyway?
Athletes on hand to endorse the plan. (13:20)
Ask yourself- how can speedboats and helicopters prevent terrorism?
A SWAT team?
Helicopters?
Speedboats?
If all the bank robbers in North America decided to become terrorists instead- how would the Dept. of Homeland Security stop them?
Buzz around in gunboats and helicopters?
NORAD/US Air Force radar?
Scramble fighter jets?
Inspect cargo shipments at US port cities?
Internal Suspicionless checkpoints and roadblocks?
Show of hands- how many smaller government folks are OK with having the Department of Homeland Security around to act as a federal reserve force for local law enforcement agencies or the entertainment industry?
Domed stadium means no Soviet-style military flyover-
Super Bowl flyover costs taxpayers $450,000
Look for half-time announcers to aknowledge the troops-
“…they are over there protecting our rights and freedoms here at home.”
Welcome Home Troops
