I missed this one – Thursday night there was an unattended bag left at Citi Field thus security cleared several sections.
I appreciate the concerns for our safety, but I personally think we’re trading our freedom for paranoia and some guys in a cave laugh every time I have to remove my cap at a Yankee Stadium gate.
Are the Mets unconcerned about shoe-bombers?
Of course that’s a ridiculous point….it’s all ridiculous. Â If the bad guys really want to do something terrible at a game unfortunately they will.
Now if the bag said “Phillies” on it..
It’s sad. I hate this stuff, because most of it’s intense paranoia (mixed with plenty of racism as well usually) and I just don’t buy in. I get frustrated and angry when someone wants to search my hat, check my purchases after I’ve bought them, check my bag on the subway, or stuff like this. And then when there is a legitimate reason for security and rushing around and closures I get annoyed because I assume it’s worthless and a waste of my time, even when it’s not. It’s the boy who cried wolf situation.
I was at the game thurs with a cop and we didn’t hear one word about this.
