9/11 Truther Invades Malcolm Smith's Super Bowl Postgame Conference

Malcolm Smith's postgame Super Bowl conference was briefly interrupted by a random 9/11 truther, who grabbed the microphone and told everyone to investigate the attacks on September 11th, saying they were "perpetrated by people within our own government." The guy was quickly shoved out of the room, though Pete Carroll probably wanted to hear him out. [ESPN2]

But how did this guy make it into the post game interview room in such a high security event? Take it away truther guy!

Matthew Mills, an 30-year-old independent journalist from Brooklyn, told NJ.com his aim was just to get close to MetLife Stadium -- which had layers of security in what's supposed to be the most secure sporting event in the United States -- so he could conduct some fan interviews.

Then the self-described 9/11 truther saw an employee bus at Secaucus Junction and hopped aboard.

Around Mills' neck was an old credential from a festival he covered, a rectangular badge that, at quick glance, didn't look too dissimilar from the ones issued to media members, team employees and others who worked the Super Bowl.

He also used a common refrain whenever hassled by security, which is supposed verify each credential or ticket with a barcode along with putting attendees through other security screenings.

"I just said I was running late for work and I had to get in there," Mills said. "It was that simple."

in the growing pile of issues. What if this guy had a bomb strapped to him?

That said, good for him for getting to see the Super Bowl for free.
