Damn! Beat me to it. Body cavity search. BYOL (bring your own lube).
I don’t think there will be body cavity searches (I know you’re being funny) but I could see a bunch of people with wands yelling at you to empty your pockets like the airport. It is what it is. It’s a soft target right now.
Philly has been ahead of nj for a long time here. It’s insane how long it takes at MetLife, for example.OK… what is the extra layer of security?
FWIW, while walking into Smackdown and Wrestlemania in Philly last weekend, we walked through a newer metal detector that you didn’t have to take the “wallets, phones, keys, change, and other metallic objects out of your pockets” like the usual detectors elsewhere. More than likely this is not it since they’re telling you to add extra time.
Oh FFS, give all the fear-mongering a rest already.
I have to agree about Rutgers. Generally things were pretty good even if you left a minimal cushion of time. You can’t decide to go in five minutes before and expect to fly right in. We’ll see what these changes bring, But if there is proper advance communication and people plan ahead, it should be fine.
Well, we don't really know what the security measures are. Let's hope that, whatever they are, the measures will work to increase people's safety and security during the game (as opposed to being time-wasting nonsense intended to increase game day profits).
There’s a fine line with communication though. Don’t want to advertise everything to give the bad guys more planning time. I think it’s sufficient to stress that people plan ahead and as you said, eventually people will know the drill.
Those scenes from Beavis and Butt-Head Do America were priceless--Roto Rooter!!! That voice of Agent Flemming was none other than Robert Stack, who was Captain Rex Kramer in the movie Airplane!
Nope. Think about it - any information people will discover during that first event can't be very risky to publicize or else that would indicate substantial flaws in the security process.
time to read all the fine print on the back of the tickets people...
Splitting hairs here. I think just advising people to leave extra time without getting into specifics are fine. Obviously no one is going to get into the deeper layers of security that the average person won’t see.
hmmmm.. while I'd like to suggest something about such crowds and the type of people who participate, I feel I must censor myself for political content. Let us just say, they wouldn't be there to watch a football game. Then again, that probably applies to a lot of tailgaters too!
I'm not going so I don't have tickets or care about the delay. I'm just clarifying the logic here, for the sake of discussion.
Just making sure that people understand why this need for safety beyond the norm is occurring. Protect the fans , teams and stop the lunacy.
Nobody mentioned anything about those names you inserted.
Bob likes to fight a lot, especially when he is wrong.
My wife despises me every time I turn that movie on. I think it's hilarious.
You know who aids and abets terrorists in this country? OUR OWN ****ing gov. I can think of at least 538 of them…just for starters.
It's certainly true that, for decades now, our government has taken actions, or in some cases, not taken action where it would've been very easy and cheap to do so, where our involvement can be easily argued to have contributed to the growth of international terrorism.
