Feds issue security bulletins on stadiums and hotels

You can't hurt the Royals more than they hurt themselves.

 

Watching that game is punishment enough for the infidels.

 

I don't recognize terror alerts unless they're color coded.

 

Maybe they figure the virgins upstairs will be especially comely if they sit thru nine innings of Lenny DiNardo vs. Mark Hendrickson.

 

If America is anything like SportsJournalists.com, the infidels can gain widespread support for their cause with a few well-placed backpacks at an AYSO tournament [/ducking]

 

Why is the administration scaring everyone?

 

There has already been an attempted attack on a U.S. sporting event. Has everybody forgotten the guy who blew himself up outside Owen Field in Norman a few years ago?

 

Anyone ever see that crappy old movie "Two-Minute Warning?" Or its equally sucky cousin, "Black Sunday?"

Thirty-year-old movies and the security at sporting events still blows. Maybe we DO need to focus more on stadiums.

 

There have been the same warnings about stadiums and hotels many, many times the last eight years - right before the NCAA tournament a year ago or so was one of the more recent ones. This is probably as general as those. It's the same warning as always: something could happen. Which is the case every day of the year. But when I ride the subway every day or go to a mall or stay in a hotel, there's a much better chance that some angry, probably young, bitter loner with a gun is going to do something than a coordinated group of Al-Qaida-backed terrorists who have been plotting for years.

And the question of why something like that hasn't happened yet with a coordinated attack, I'm guessing it's because there simply isn't some large pool of well-trained terrorists in this country just biding their time. And when there is such a group, law enforcement seems to have success finding them and breaking it up. Again, the angry loner no one knows about is much more likely to cause damage.

Of course something could happen, from a group or a single nut. But why worry about it? There are about a thousand things that are more likely to kill you - from not wearing seat belts to choking on food.

 

They tried, but Canada was on strike.

 

The plot of the Showtime show Sleepr Cell involved setting off a device at Dodger Stadium. It did not stretch the bounds of credibilty to think something like that would be possible in real life.

 

I'm waiting for Yankee Fan to get on here and say:

"See? See? Bush issued terror alerts! Now Obama's doing it too! Boogity boogity! I don't really have a point, I'm just trying to say Obama's somehow a hypocrite!"
