Interesting to note from our weekend adventures.
Chicago's Metra train security has increased. There are even public announcements on the train now about "heightened security", reporting unattended bags, etc.
At Millenium Park and the lakeshore, security was tight. Plenty of visible police and helicopters making rounds near the harbor and circling the highrises.
The added security did not infringe on our fun.
Security at the Cubs' game, however.....woefully inadequate.
Like the Cubbies themselves.
Sun-Times sucks for local news
The Trib:

Operations were retuning to normal this morning at O'Hare International Airport after a computer glitch grounded American Airlines and US Airways flights nationwide.
The groundings started about 6 a.m. American had its planes back up after two hours, while US Airways flights were grounded for about three hours.

Published August 1, 2004
NEW YORK -- The New York Police Department, responding to new information that terrorists may be planning to attack corporations or large public institutions in the city, Saturday night advised building managers and corporate security personnel to step up their procedures to guard against vehicles rigged with explosives and against chemical agents placed in ventilation systems.
The warning followed meetings on Friday night and Saturday between Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Pasquale Damuro, the assistant director in charge of the New York field office of the FBI, according to Kelly's chief spokesman, Paul J. Browne.
