I worry about this every year. Security for the event is very intense, but I also know how many vendors and volunteers are on the field, not to mention campers, people with lunches, etc. They search all packages but it seems to me that there is a large opportunity for mayhem there.
Detroit and the shores of Lake Erie are what, three - four hour drive away?
Windsor, Ontario (right across a small river from Detroit) and N. Vancouver, British Columbia host the two largest FUNDELMENTALISTS Muslim communities outside of the Arab world.
The only thing separating Windsor from the U.S.? Lake St. Marys, the Detroit River and Lake Erie...and miles of open shoreline.
Who knows what twisted thinking might cause the Islamofreaks to choose a particular target. Fact is, we can't possibly cover them all. Fact also is that every rational American adult has known since 9/11/01 that other attacks are all but inevitable. Where? When? As the President often says, the terrorists only have to get lucky once, while those trying to protect us have to get lucky 100% of the time. For this reason, I really think our government should reinstitute the Civil Defense Corps.
