Oh, yeah, "Sig Heil!"
"High-tech eye on a tradition; Under the rockets' red glare, authorities to watch July 4 gala via sophisticated gear" by Michael Levenson, Globe Staff | July 2, 2008
As shells explode in showers of red, blue, and gold over the Charles River and Keith Lockhart leads the Boston Pops in the "1812 Overture," Lieutenant Bruce H. Lint of the Massachusetts State Police will be holed up in a dimly lit Back Bay basement, eyes glued to a video screen.
He and 50 officials from federal, state, and local agencies will watch live feeds from video cameras installed along the Esplanade and on a State Police helicopter circling above the expected 500,000 revelers. If a bomb detonates, they can alert the FBI. If a person faints, they can send an ambulance. And if a blaze ignites, they can send firefighters.
Yup, the FASCISM is ALL FOR THE GOOD, Sig Heil!!!!
The so-called Unified Command Center, a hushed space draped with black curtains and bristling with radio equipment, is part of a massive and methodical orchestration of security measures that has mushroomed as the event has evolved from a local celebration into a $3 million, nationally televised extravaganza.
The center, which features video monitors showing a constantly updated log of emergencies and a Doppler radar of the weather, has helped make the celebration a model of security for massive public events. Over the years, officials from Harvard, London, Denmark, Ireland, Germany, New York, and Washington, D.C., have visited Boston to learn what makes the center work.
These days, hundreds of officers patrol the Esplanade on foot, bicycle, all-terrain vehicle, and horseback. Dozens patrol the river by boat. On the Fourth, officers will park snowplows at either end of Storrow Drive and lay spike strips between them to thwart a car bomb.
Sounds like a LOCK-DOWN!!
Hope they don't BEAT UP any kids and KILL THEM!!!!
Those working on the celebration say the show of security gives them a sense of well-being.
Yes, we LOVE our FASCIST COCOONS -- even if it means taking a slam to the ground!!!!
I really don't want to read any more about the SHOW, readers.
I ain't going anyway, because I don't like to worship war sounds!!!
