MSP is CRAWLING with security today!!

Hi all ....

Poor planning has me traveling today so I'm passing thru MSP (for the 58th time this teay!) and am amazed at the security!! I realize the Republican delegates, etc. are arriving so I wasn't surprised by their (security) presence, just by their sheer numbers. I sat down at the Subway beside the C concourse WC and in less than 10 minues saw at LEAST a dozen different bright-blue shirted TSA folk, four management level people with walkie-talkies working with the TSA-ers, and an equal or greater number on uniformed airport police --- and one bicycle mounted cop. The place is literally CRAWSLING with security. The WC employees say it's been this way since Friday. They aren't slowing anyone down (it's VERY quiet here!) but there are a ton of them.

I'll be back thru here on Wednesday and it'll be interesting to see if they're still here in such force.

Just an observation .......
