This article discusses the closed-door meeting of the Santa Monica City Council on Tuesday wherein they allocated TWO MILLION DOLLARS in additional anti-terrorism tactics, concentrating on the pier and surrounding shopping areas.
Reading between the lines, Butts and Rand seems to be on top of it.
I met Chief Butts in, of all things, a computer class several years ago. He is a VERY handson guy and seemed like a real straight shooter.
SM Pier would be an excellent target.
Ping.

I can't believe that SaMo's police chief is Butts, ours in Long Beach is Batts, and in L.A. there's Bratton.
Gasp!!! Profiling in the People's Republic of Santa Monica? Haven of the homeless?
Or am I behind the times here?
Somebody slipped some sanity into the water supply, maybe?
Better stop selling those postcards of the pier. One can never know what people will do with them. LOL.
Inconsistent with tourist documents? No doubt the ACLU will produce someone who says his home is a temple dedicated to pictures of pilings undergirding bridges and piers.
And any notice of these guys is profiling and part of the oppresive policies against civil rights of the Bush administration.
