I don't buy it - or at best, they are former military guys working for a contracted security firm.

As well, our elite military forces will be masquerading as cab drivers, businessmen, tourists and window washers. Even the person selling papers at the newstands are standing behind the counter at the coffee shop could be Delta Force.

Terrorists beware. We are everywhere!

Frankly, I think this is a GREAT idea! This IS a national security issue, so it is only common sense that our military be involved.

It's been all over the news probably for the purpose of making any terrorists think twice and/or disrupting any plans, should they exist. It's a reasonable strategy.

I saw a guy mopping up in the XXXrated movie house, he said he was really Delta and it was he deep cover to keep an eye out for terrorism at the convention.
