Super Bowl.
They're there to treat the victims of Hurricane Polamalu (Steelers) and Hurricane Tutupu (Seahawks).
Go Trojans!
"non-specific threat"
Specifically, Steelers' fans.
Thank you for posting this. Weeks ago I saw a developing story on Drudge and here about the stepped up security but it seams to have dropped as quickly as it appeared. This has been a concern for many, just pray that nothing happens.
I live in the Detroit area and haven't heard anything about a threat. They have downtown near the staduim sealed up pretty tight, though.
(Factoid: Detroit has the largest arab population outside of the middle east)
Are all the ragheads leaving town for the weekend???
Did the Red Cross already stock up on supplies, and are just now getting around to lining up volunteers? If they stockpiled supplies in advance, this may just be their scheduled time to line up volunteers. If they're beginning to gather supplies, then this is something new. Can you find out?
Who in their right mind would volunteer to be roughed up by Steelers fans?
Unconfirmed. It'll be around the world by morning.
Riot control or covering up the dead and caring for the injured after the riot in Detroit after the Super Bowl.
Interesting to say the least.
*bump*
This is a comment that I read on another website discussing the possibility of an attack this Sunday. Totally unconfirmed. I share it because I know there are others who are better able to see if there is anything to it. Could simply be some idiot playing a game...if so, not funny!

A family member is involved in the government, and they have been getting "threat reports" bullitens about a possible attack in Detroit, or most likely in another American city during the super bowl. According to this family member, there is a lot of "chatter" going on. Nothing concrete is being said about the subject, but they believe Feb 5 is a significant date, because it has been mentioned frequently. Remember that Bin Laden and his buddy have been releasing tapes lately, which have sometimes been used in the past as a signal to attack. Be vigilant.
