The NO Homeland Security Director was saying that they would not put more than 20-30,000 into the Superdome. They would open other shelters. They are doing full searches for weapons, drugs, and other contraband. His concern is not for comfort, but for trying to keep people alive through Tuesday morning.
-- WWL interview awhile back.
I'd like to know when they plan on opeing more...After it hits full force. This is folly.
Just a weird thought at this somber time; If the Superdome somehow survives intact, and saves 10's of thousands of lives, don't you see this as another excuse to push taxpayer financed, hurricane proof, sports stadiums to protect the public?
