Baghdad TSA Bob reports:

Super Bowl fans may encounter TSA Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) teams on local transportation venues, including commercial and general aviation facilities and mass transit. Teams augment other federal, state, and local transportation and law enforcement to reduce potential terrorist risks to the traveling public. TSA assets will also work with law enforcement at Mercedes-Benz Superdome during the high-profile game. Fans are encouraged to report potentially dangerous situations to law enforcement or someone in authority.

I wonder what will happen if Kapernick decides to throw a bomb?

Baghdad also provides the following travel tip:

Here is a list of items that should be placed in your checked bags instead of your carry-on bags to comply with our liquids guidelines: Creamy dips and spreads, BBQ sauce, cheeses, peanut butter, salsa, jams, salad dressings, jellies, maple syrup, sauces, soups, wine, liquor and beer.

I feel safer already.

What, no gravies ... ?!?! This is just the sort of loophole terrorists love to exploit.

I guess it's back to not feeling safe anymore ...

One of the Directors must've misread it as "Super Bowel" and thought they needed to be inspecting it ;) :p :D

I know it's a generalization but sports fans deserve to be harassed. For the most part they don't seem to mind it or they haven't opened their damn eyes to see what is going on.

This is NOT mission creep!
Hey,those carts they take injured players off the field on are transportation!

Yeah I should have said something about bread and circuses. Not trying piss off sports fans that are awake.

I don't care, but I will enjoy tomorrow watching with family and friends.

And beer.

Gotta find something to do of a non-political nature sometimes, lest you go crazy thinking about this crap too much.
