FYI....from your haven in NC this looks like a big laugh.But we here in Massachusetts are more than a bit skittish about such matters because 1)two of the four planes involved in 9/11 originated here and 2)largely as a result of point #1,Massachusetts,along with NY,NJ,CT and CA suffered the large majority of the casualties of 9/11.
New York, who by far had the largest number of victims also had the largest number the signs (56) No one there hit the panic button.
No from anywhere this not only looks like, it is a big laugh. Sorry to have your government officials made fools of so easily. Perhaps you need to elect some with common sense. This has nothing to do with 9/11 and to equate it to such is a hyperbolic argument
Your state is definitely skittish and that is not a compliment. After all the city that was attacked(NYC) had plenty of these marketing signs and they did not over react.
You guys had these for 10 days and in one day shut down the river and the city.
I may grant the first one the cops could be suspicious, But after they determine it was not a threat, why panic? There is something wrong when a group a people examine a LED light bright and keep treating it as a threat. I call that moronic.
