Are you worried about a terrorist attack during the Superbowl?

[Horse with no Name]

I really wasn't until I read that they hired new security companies and remembered that they changed security companies a few days prior to 9-11.
Then I remembered that tomorrow is the third anniversary of Colin Powell's speech to the UN Security Council stating the US case for war against Iraq.
AND DU will be down!!!!!!!Truly if something happens, we will go absolutely nuts.

1. I wasn't until today...

same reasons as you have down.

peace.

[SmokingJacket]

2. Nothing's gonna happen. There, there.

It's never the thing you expect...

[WatchWhatISay]

3. I think most of us here have enough intelligence not to be afraid of

vague, constant threats all of the time. Not that we don't think it could happen, but worrying isn't going to change anything except induce immobilizing paranoia.

4. Who cares? The Puppy Bowl will be on

with a Kitty Half Time Extravaganza!

Actually, I do worry a bit about ANY big icon thing with a large crowd. The junta is getting desperate to get their Martial Law on. Libby seems to be giving up Cheney. Yeah, it worries me that a big hit would be too helpful to the junta now.

[Virginia Dare]

20. Amen, that is one of the highlights of the year!

Nothing will soothe your soul more than watching a group of puppies play.

5. since Mullah Omar has declared the Olympics to be un-Islamic

I decided to cancel my trip to Italy

I'm not worried about the Superbowl

[NJ Democrats]

6. nothing's going to happen.

I'm not worried at all.

[YOY]

7. You need a third choice "Couldn't give a lesser s***." n/t

[adriennui]

10. how true.

i'm worried about the parts of the US that aren't the super bowl.

[YOY]

11. or American Idol or that dead white girl in Aruba etc...

Too much real stuff to worry about...scary real stuff.

[BlakeB]

8. Im more worried about...

a Mick Jagger wardrobe malfunction.

[CatholicEdHead]

9. No, the plot from "The Sum of All Fears" will not happen

[snippy]

12. Of course not. I still have duct tape. n/t

[Coastie for Truth]

13. You won't go nuts

You posted

Go to your local Radio Shack or Ham Radio Outlet or "serious amateur" consumer electronics store and get a reasonably decent scanner.

Most of your police, fire, and medic frequencies, and radio amateur emergency services (MARS and CAP and RACES) are in these frequencies:

* 144-174 mHz (our local fire is in the 150-156 mHZ band)
* 420-510 mHz
* 806-869 mHz

Hint: in some localities some police frequencies may be scrambled/encrypted. But fire and medic is not encrypted or scrambled. If there is a terrorist event in your community -- it will be on the fire and medic frequencies.

If there is a terrorist event elsewhere in the country - your fire department may "pre-alert" some companies (for example "Engine 26 standby to go to Station 10; Truck 18 standby to go to Station 34, ...") - to disperse throughout the area.

I monitor 155.025 (Fire and Medic dispatch) and 154.115 (tactical for "fire" - excludes lockouts, medic runs, and auto accidents -- picks up all burning fires).

I do not monitor police.

14. What's a superbowl? A toilet for XXL butts?

[Ava]

15. dont' think so

i don't think so, but it would be convenient for bush's approval ratings. remember what they were during 9/11?

[TahitiNut]

16. Not me. I'm terrified that we'll be shown a teat! OMG! A breast! A nipple!

The horror! The horror! :eyes:

[Jack Bone]

17. Mick Jagger's Teat ?

that would be horrible!!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. Holy Fuck. That Was The Loneliest Vision I've Ever Had.

Something going down and DU not working because of the upgrades. Being on my own. Not being able to reach out to DU and collaborate.

What an absolutely terrifyingly lonely feeling that was that immediately entered my body after reading your last line. What a testament to the community that is DU.

[terrierist]

19. No - it's too long until the election

August, September and October are the months that worry me.

[catmandu57]

21. No, they'de kill a fuckload of republicans

It's mostly the haves and havemores at events like this, joe sixpack sure as hell isn't there, unless they want to sacrafice a bunch of their own, I'm not too worried about it.
It would make more sense to mess with the world series next year closer to election day.
