Big Sis: Keep an eye out for suspicious balls

New York — The Department of Homeland Security is urging fans at professional sports events to help keep the country safe by reporting anything suspicious they see.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano joined New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly on Monday to announce the security effort. It's an expansion of Homeland Security's "See Something, Say Something" campaign.

Hmm, I see a whole bunch of criminals on the playing field, but I'm the one getting wanded and having my man purse searched.

Maybe it will be a good thing. At DFW today, when I asked for a TSM an STSO'S showed up all proud to explain that the TSM was in Tampa for the political convention. So take more of the thousands standing around and let them help MLB's dwindling attendance.

I am tired of this fear mongering. NJ Transit has its "texting against terror" program:

Fortunately, at least one person can see through all this nonsense:

I wish I could the final line of the above article,

My guess is that, like everything else these days, if there are no more attacks, and there’s no more to gain politically by fussing over it, it will gradually lose its energy and ebb away.”
but am concerned that if we do start to go that way, another threat will materialize to "bring us back on track."
