So, I'm looking at CNN.com
So, I'm looking at CNN.com and I read that :
The FBI said Friday that it had "unconfirmed information" that a domestic group plans to attack media vehicles, possibly with "explosives or incendiary devices," according to a statement issued by the FBI's Boston field office.(CNN.Com)
According to the reports by CNN
Manholes have been welded shut, and there are few, if any, mailboxes and trash cans in sight.Interstate 93, the main highway on which traffic flows in and out of the city, will be closed during convention hours because it passes within a few feet of the convention site at the FleetCenter. All together, about 40 miles of roads will be closed.
Thousands of local, state and federal officers are helping turn the city into a veritable fortress. Extra "eyes" will be watching the FleetCenter after more than 100 high-tech video cameras were installed, according to The Associated Press.
Fencing has gone up around critical buildings, and those who want to enter must pass through security checks.
Some of that steel fencing, razor wire and concrete blocks surrounds the 28,000 square-foot area where protesters will hold demonstrations.
The Boston subway's North Station, a main commuter hub, also will be shut down.
The first thing I do is go to The Department of Homeland Security and checked out their threat level meter and it is still reading yellow (as it has for forever now). I should know I have it on my side bar. What exactly does it take to get that meter to go up?
It bothers me so much that they want to instill fear into us so much by welding shut storm drains and putting up razor wire in metropolitan areas, but they don't have the balls to actually say there is a "High Risk of Terror Attacks", or "Severe Risk of Terror Attacks".
However, according to DHS you should be visiting Ready.gov and you should have an emergency kit even at code blue. Don't worry duct tape is still on the emergency kit list.
